Ciencias Naturales con 3ºB

Ciencias Naturales con 3ºB

Over this year, I had half an hour each week with 3ºB where we have done various activities, for example:

1) Create a radio advertisement to promote healthy habits

Un anuncio de radio para promover hábitos saludables

In groups of 4/5 the students first created an advert or short radio programme to promote healthy habits in Spanish. They then translated this into English and recorded their programmes. There were different topics such as giving up smoking, eating healthily, stop drinking and do more exercise. We then spent a class listening to the programmes and advertisement. At the end of this activity all the students voted to choose the best one!  

2) Food diary and food plate

Un diario alimenticio

Following on from the topic of healthy habits we moved onto healthy eating. As homework, the students had to create a food diary and also using magazine cut outs, create a food plate. They made both their typical food plate and a one demonstrating a traditional Mediterranean diet. 

3) Characteristics of a Mediterranean diet

Las características de una dieta mediterránea 

The students then compared their diet to the traditional Mediterranean diet. We used a website to review the characteristics of a Mediterranean diet.

4) Questions and Answers

Preguntas y respuestas

Students had to form questions about the heart and the circulatory system to practise forming and answering questions. They used their textbooks to form questions in pairs and then asked their questions to other pairs.

5) Blood donation campaign poster

Whilst studying the circulatory system the students created a blood donation campaign poster. We looked at examples from UK ‘Give Blood’ campaigns.

6) True or False 

Verdadero o falso 

The students created 3 statements about Urinary System (some true, some false) they then read the statements and their classmates decided if they were true or false. 





7) 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' Reproduction Quiz

¿Quién quiere ser millonario?

In our last class of the year we had a 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' style quiz. It was multiple choice and the class worked together to answer the questions.

Los adjetivos de personalidad con 3°ESO/4°ESO

Personality

Los adjetivos de personalidad

To begin the lesson, I listed on the whiteboard several adjectives to describe personality:

• kind = amable
•  unkind = antipático/a
•  generous = generoso/a
•  stubborn = terco/a
•  mean = antipático/a
•  hardworking = trabajador
•  easy-going = fácil de tartar
• sensible = sensato/a
• sensitive = sensible
•  polite = educado/a
• impolite = maleducado/a
• rude = grosero/a o irrespetuoso/a
• selfish = egoísta

After we played a game. The students had to write 3 sentences about their personalities.

Después, jugamos un juego. Los estudiantes tienen que escribir 3 frases sobre sus personalidades.

For example:

Por ejemplo:

1) I am stubborn

2) I am generous

3) I am funny

They then folded the paper and put it into a folder. The students then took turns to take a piece of paper from the folder. They had to read it aloud to the class then guess which of their classmates wrote it. Once they guessed correctly the person who it belonged to took their turn. 

Luego los estudiantes tienen que doblar el papel y ponerlo en una carpeta. Los estudiantes tienen que tomar turnos para tomar un pedazo de papel de la carpeta. Tienen que leerlo en voz alta a la clase y luego adivinar cuál de sus compañeros de clase lo escribió.

I also created this worksheet to practise the future and conditional tenses:

Revision of future and conditional tenses:

GAME

On a piece of paper write down 3 ambitions for the future. Use a conditional or future tense.

For example:

I will run a marathon.

I would like to marry a prince.

Fold the paper and place in my folder. Then pick one and read it aloud, you have to guess who wrote it.

Predictions:

In pairs: predict what your partner will be doing in 10 years’ time.
