3rd Year British: RADIO PROGRAM WITH SPREAKER
3rd Year Students made a radio program with www.spreaker.com.
They had to make an interview to a farmer as we studied the Primary Sector in Geography.
The instructions of this project were on their teacher´s blog: http://profesora-isabel.blogspot.com.es/2017/05/3rd-british-spreaker-activity.html
Please, listen to their podcasts! They´re amazing!

LOOKING THROUGH THE MICROSCOPE
These pictures correspond to onion cells. As you can see they are Eukaryote cells. The plant cell, we can see the cell wall between the cells, and also nucleus.
The first one was dyed with a purple color.
The second one has no color.
I personally like the one with purple color, because It's more clear the image.

The Animal Cell
Materials :
-2balls of porexpan
-yellow and blue foam
-white and blue clay
-an egg of porexpan
-a black pen
-Blue paint
Instructions
1-First we cut and painted a quarter of the big ball. Then, we pasted some blue foam in the quarter we have previously cut.
2- For making the DNA and the nucleus, we used a second painted ball.
3- We have used red sponges for making the mitochondria and a green porexpan egg for the vacuole.
5- For making the ribosomes we drew some dots with a pen .
6- Finally we put some clay in the borders and labeled the different parts of the cell.

MAKING CELLS
Materials used for work
·
Cardboard
·
Colorful
clay
·
Plastic
cords of different colours
Performed process
First, and using
the cardboard as a base, we have represented with white clay the
"capsule", which is the outer part of the cell.
Then, with colored
cords we have marked the lines that represent the cell wall and the membrane.
With red string and
zig-zag shape, we have placed the DNA and finally with clay balls we have
represented the ribosomes that are placed in the cytoplasm, just like the DNA.
Definition and function of the prokaryote cell
It is called prokaryotes to cells without a defined
cell nucleus, that is, whose genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm,
assembled in a zone called nucleoid.Being a unicellular and autonomous
organism, it is capable of manufacturing the thousands of enzymes it needs for
its metabolism. When it consists of a single cell, it must perform the basic
functions of a cell and the functions of an organism.

2nd British: ADVICE COLUMN
Dear Dr History,
Please, please help me settle this argument I am
having with my girlfriend. We were watching a film several weeks ago when a scene of Al Andalus appeared. Well, my girlfriend told me that the Berbers were the most important social group in Al Andalus as they were in charge of the government and that the Arabs were former Christians who adopted the religion, language and customs of Islam. She also argued that the Mozarabs played a significant role in the economy. Besides, she thinks that the Muladíes had fewer privileges and that they sometimes rebelled. I said she was wrong. I told her that she might have missed that lesson in High School because everything she said was a mess!
Ever since then she has been making a big deal out of this and won´t answer my phone calls. I love her, but I don´t think we can get back together until we settle this argument. I´ve checked some History books, but they weren´t very clear. We agreed that I would write to you and let you settle the argument. But, Dr. History, don´t just tell us the answer, you´ve got to explain it so we both understand because my girlfriend is really dogmatic. She said she wouldn´t even trust History Channel unless the explanation was really clear.
Sincerely,
History Blues

Dear History Blues:
I hope I can settle your argument with your
girlfriend. I can, of course, explain about social groups in Al-Andalus. Here goes.
First, the most powerful groups were the Arabs and the Berbers. The Arabs were
in charge of government and had the best land.
On the other hand, the Berbers were more numerous, but had fewer privileges. They
sometimes rebelled.
Also, the Muladíes
were former Christians who adopted the religion, language and customs of Islam
to avoid paying taxes.
However, the Mozarabs didn’t want to adopt their religion (Islam). They paid
taxes, and many emigrated to the northern kingdoms, to escape persecution.
Finally, the Jews were the ones who played a significant role in the economy.
Sometimes Jewish districts were usually in a separate part of the city.
I hope you can make it up with her.
Sincerely
Dr. History

WE STUDY SOME PROPERTIES OF WATER
First we filled a bowl with some hot water (that represents our seas and oceans) and put a cup in the middle of that bowl, to represent our land.Then we covered the bowl with some plastic paper, that represents our atmosphere.As the water boiled, it evaporated. Then we put some ice over de plastic and the water vapour condensated.Ten minutes later, we removed the plastic and carefully took the cup from the middle of the bowl that contained some liquid water.

The Surface tension is a very important property of water
because it allows to small and light insects to walk in the Surface of the water.
This is consequence of the “layer “of atoms that became together when a force is
pushing down them. As you can see in the photo we did it with a glass filled up
of water and then we put a paper floating in the water and a clip floating in
the paper, so when the paper sank the clip was still floating in the surface

CAPILLARITY
Capillarity is a very important property of water
because it allows plants to do the photosynthesis. This property explains why water
and mineral salts go up through the stem and reach the leaf. As you can see, we
use some colours and papers to study it.
