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)

LET'S EXPERIMENT WITH FORCES

Today we are going to start a new topic in our Science lesson: FORCES. 






Why the ball is moving in every case?
What are the people doing to move the ball?



And now, What is going to happen with the ball?
How is it going to move?


With all this previous information, Can you say what a force is?

LET'S MAKE SOME EXPERIMENTS TO IDENTIFY DIFFERENT KIND OF FORCES.

1. Let's take an elastic band, and tie something like a key in one part. Hold the elastic band from the opposite part. Try to identify what happens on it and why it happens.

2. Take a plastic pen, and some small pieces of paper. Rub very quickly the pen with something made of wool. Then you will move the pen closer to the papers. Try to identify what happens on it and why it happens. 

3. Let's take two magnets and try to put them together. Try to identify what happens on them and why it happens. 

4. Let's play with a car. Launch the car along the floor of a classroom, First do it very soft and then do it stronger. What has happened? When has it stopped later?


LET'S CHECK YOUR LEARNING 
ABOUT THE KIND OF FORCES:
