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

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.
