USING FORCES: MACHINES.

Let's move into a new Science topic.

We learnt that the FORCES are action wich make objects move, stop or change shape.

Today we are going to learn how to use this forces, We can use the forces when we use the machines.  Machines can be:

• SIMPLE: they have a few components.
• COMPLEX: they have many components. 

Let's have a look to this video about SIMPLE MACHINE:

As you could watch in the video MACHINES make our lifes easier. 

Can you identify what are the six simple machines?

• Lever.
• Pulley.
• Wheel and Axel.
• Inclined Plane.
• Screw.
• Wedge.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!!!!! Could you identify examples of the six simple machines in your real life? It is easier than you think. JUST LOOK AROUND,, there are a lot. 

CHECK YOUR LEARNING ABOUT SIMPLE MACHINES WITH THIS TWO ACTIVITIES. 

LABEL THE SIMPLE MACHINES
SIMPLE MACHINES I

SIMPLE MACHINES II

Popplets about ENERGY.

Utilizando las TICs para repasar, una vez terminada la unidad de la Energía trabajamos como siempre, realizamos nuestro mapa conceptual con Popplet.

Después los alumnos graban su explicación con la aplicación Screencast-O-Matic. 

Publican su entrada en su Portfolio Personal creado dentro de los blogs personales de Kidblog.

Y nos lo envían para poder corregirlo a traves de la red social educativa de Edmodo.

Estos son los trabajos de los alumnos de esta unidad.

FORCES AND MOTION

Let's review what a force is and how it affects to the objets with this song:

FORCES CAN DISTORT OBJECTS TEMPORARILY OR PERTMANENTLY. 

ALSO THE FORCES CAN AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF THINGS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS:

Let's look for an example from your real life in which you think this different situation happen.

1. A forces makes something move.
2. A force stops a moving body.
3. A force changethe direction of a moving object.
4. A force increas the speed of a moving object.
5. A force reduce the speed of a moving object. 

WITH THIS SIMPLE GAME YOU CAN CHECK HOW DIFFERENT FORCES CAN AFFECT THE MOVEMENT OF THINGS. (Please read the instructions very carefully)
