MAKE YOUR OWN 3 TYPES OF ROCKS / DEMONSTRATE THE ROCK CYCLE

Hey, ready for a project? Well, here you go!

You can create your own sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks! You can use crayons, jelly beans... Let me show you!

1. Simulating the rock cycle with CRAYONS

1. Grate or chop the crayons into small pieces, keeping the colours separate. (PENCIL SHARPENER IS SAFER!)

More weathering

This represents weathering and erosion.

2. Sprinkle a layer of each colour crayon into a small piece of tin foil.

Depositing of (crayon) sediments

This is the laying down of sediments.

Fold up the foil (or put another piece on top) and press down on it very hard.

This simulates the pressure that creates sedimentary rock.

Unwrap your foil and examine your sedimentary rock.

3. Rewrap your squished crayon (sedimentary rock) and heat it by dunking it in very hot water for a few moments, then squish it some more. You could also use other metamorphic crayon-rocks or igneous crayon-rocks to make your metamorphic rock.

This represents heat and extreme pressure inside the Earth, which creates metamorphic rock.

4. Rewrap your heated, squished “metamorphic rock”. This time dunk it in the very hot water for long enough for the crayon to melt completely.  Alternatively, briefly hold your foil packet in a candle flame which will melt your crayon more quickly. (Again, you can also use sedimentary or igneous crayon-rocks to make igneous crayon-rocks.)

Melting (crayon) rocks in hot water to create igneous (crayon) rocks

The melted then cooled crayon represents igneous rock.

We let some of our melted crayons cool slowly, as would happen when magma cools slowly inside the Earth to  create intrusive igneous rocks.  We dunked other melted crayons (in their foil packet) in icy water to represent the fast cooling that takes place when lava cools outside the Earth, creating extrusive igneous rocks.

2. Starburst rocks (SUGUS)

The first rock we made was the SEDIMENTARY ROCK.  The kids cut up their three Starburst candies with scissors.  Some made tiny pieces, others were happy with just cutting them into quarters.  Then, we pressed the "sediments" together to make a sedimentary rock.

We then warmed up our "rocks" in our hands and by blowing on them. It didn't take long for the candy to get warm!  We folded it a few times and we had METAMORPHIC ROCKS!

And the IGNEOUS ROCK, use three Starburst candies and a microwave.

3. TYPES OF ROCKS WITH JELLY BEANS

Awesome video that explains how to do it. Enjoy!

UNIT 4: ROCKS (SOCIAL SCIENCES)

Hello:

Vamos a comenzar la unidad 4 de su libro de Ciencias Sociales Oxford Think Do! Learn 4. Esta unidad tiene por título Rocks (“Rocas”), y en ella aprenderemos:

• Los principales tipos de rocas: ígnea, sedimentaria y metamórfica.
• Las propiedades que podemos encontrar en los minerales para distinguirlos.
• La funcionalidad de los minerales en nuestra vida diaria.
• La litosfera y las placas tectónicas de la Tierra.

Os adjunto el vocabulario más importante que aprenderá a lo largo de la unidad.

Quisiera animaros a que ayudéis a vuestro hijo/a a interiorizar los contenidos utilizando las audiciones y canciones de la unidad, la presentación PowerPoint y las actividades de Let’s play! ubicados en la Plus Zone. Asimismo, os invito a clasificar con vuestros hijos diferenes tipos de rocas y escribir sus propiedades, así como a disfrutar del blog de la clase.

Sin duda, vuestra colaboración ayudará a que vuestro hijo/a aprenda y se divierta.

HOW MUCH AND HOW MANY

WATCH THIS VIDEO...

SING THIS SONG...

HOW MUCH

Se usa cuando hablamos de sustantivos incontables.

Un sustantivo incontable es aquel que no se puede contar: aire, agua, luz, nieve, lluvia, hierro, equipaje, dinero, tiempo, fruta... (time, money, luggage, furniture, water, light, snow, fruit...)

Ejemplos: 

How much money have you got?

How much furniture have you got in your house?

HOW MANY

Se usa cuando hablamos de sustantivos contables.

Un sustantivo contable es aquel que se puede contar en unidades separadas: edificios, lunares, coches, frutas, animales... (two apples, three houses, one spot, four dogs...)

Muchos sustantivos incontables los podemos convertir en contables poniéndoles algo delante:

two kilos of meat

one liter of orange juice

three cups of coffee

LA MATERIA

Aquí os dejamos 3 vídeos muy interesantes para que comprendáis mejor los contenidos sobre la materia.

Y también os dejo algunas tareas interesantes y divertidas:

1.- ¿ Alguna vez has tomado para cenar una mezcla heterogénea?

2.- ¿ Cuál es tu mezcla homogénea favorita? 

3.- ¿ Has visto en tu casa el agua en sus 3 estados?

SONG: Paradise (Coldplay)

When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes

When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach and the bullets catch in her teeth
