The fall of the Roman Empire and the Visigoth Kingdom

You have here what we have copied today on the notebooks.

THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

In 476, the last Roman Emperor was defeated and the Roman Empire was divided into smallest kingdoms. This marks the beginning of the Middle Ages.

THE GERMANIC TRIBES

In 411, three Germanic tribes invaded the Peninsula.

-         The Suevi settled in the northeast, in Gallaecia.

-         The Alani occupied the centre, Lusitania and Carthaginensis.

-         The Vandals settled in the south, in Baetica.

THE VISIGOTH KINGDOM

The Romans asked for help to the Visigoths. They came to the Peninsula in 415 and expelled the Alani and the Vandals.

The Visigoths founded a powerful kingdom with Toledo as its capital.

In the 6^th century, King Leovigildo defeated the Suevi and took control of the whole territory.

In 711, Muslims from the north of Africa invaded the Iberian Península and defeated Lord King Ruderico.

Optional paper natural unit 3

We have just started Unit 3 in Natural Science. This is a very easy and short unit about Fungi, Moneras and Protista.

If you want to get a better mark, you have the opportunity to make one of these individual projects:

- Experiment

- Viruses vs. Bacteria

- The history of Penicillin

EXPERIMENT

You will have to carry out an experiment in your house, to grow mould in slices of bread. Here you have the instructions of what you have to do. You’ll have to write a report about your experiment and present it on DN A4 format.

VIRUSES vs. BACTERIA

You will have to investigate about viruses and bacteria and create a Venn diagram comparing them on a DIN A4 format.

THE HISTORY OF PENICILLIN

You will research about who, why and how Penicillin was discovered, the consequences of its discovery and how do we use it nowadays. You’ll write the story on a DIN A4 format.

You have to include your project in your folder and had it out the day of the exam.

Enjoy!

Natural Science notebook

Hello!

I’ve prepared a video to show you how your notebook should look like. It is MY Natural Science Notebook, which I did while you were working on yours.

• There are two things that are different:
• My GLOSSARY is longer, because I decided to make you write less words.

-          You don’t have the OUTLINE yet, we will do it on Monday.

This is what you must have on your notebook when you give it to me the day of the exam:

•          FRONT PAGE: name, group, subject, title and glossary.
•           BACK COVER: outline
•           CELLS outline
•           ACTIVITIES 1, 2 and 3 from page 9
•           The Organization Of Living Things SUMMARY
•           The microscope DRAWING (labeled)
•           ACTIVITIES 1 and 3 from page 13
•           FINAL ACTIVITIES from page 15 (1, 2, 3 and 4)

Here you have the video. Enjoy! (And do not laugh, pelase…)

NOTEBOOKS

I'll give you a short explanation about the notebooks, in case you are not sure what you have to do.

At the end of each unit, the day of the exam, you'll have to give me a plastic folder containing all the work you have being doing during the unit. It must have:

- A front page with your name and surname, year and letter, title of the unit and glossary.

- At the back of the front page there will be an outline of the unit.

- All the activities, outlines and summaries we do during the unit, with the DATE and PAGE and TITLES and INSTRUCTIONS.

- The worksheet we use in class.

You can use pen to write dates, titles or instructions, but the answer to the questions MUST be in PENCIL.

You can use colours, but not very intense or that difficult the reading, and better if you use coloured pencils than markers.

The pages must be numbered.

The notebook has to be clean, tidy and neat. 

The calligraphy has to be good and in an adequate size.

I'll show you some examples in class and I'll try to put here some pictures for you to see what a good notebook is.

Year 2017/18

Hello!

This school year I will try to use this blog to help you with our Science and Art lessons.

From time to time I will upload information about what we have being doing in class and what we are going to do.

Get ready to have lots of fun, learn a lot a do lot of group work.
