THE BIOSPHERE

Hi guys!

Here you have some useful pics to study your new lesson. Enjoy them! :)

Organisms of the same species can have different types of relationships: they can COOPERATE or COMPETE.

COOPERATION

1. FAMILY GROUP: Stable groups in which the offspring are fed and cared for by the mothers or PARENTS during the first years of life.
2. HIERARCHICAL COMMUNITIES: Ants, termites and BEES live in highly organised societies with each organism specialised in a different role: workers, drones and the queen.
3. GREGARIOUS SPECIES: Some animals move, migrate or live in groups to protect themselves against predators, Fish, birds or CATTLE, form schools, flocks or herds.

COMPETITION: Two males of the same species compete for a female.

Identify the different relationship: a) Gregarious species; b) Hierarchical communities; c) Family groups; d) Gregarious species; e) Competition; f) Gregarious species.

Are the organisms below producers or primary, secondary or tertiary consumers?

a) Secondary consumer;b) Tertiary consumer;c) Primary consumer;d) Producer.

Extintction occurs when every single member of a species dies and none are left alive. We can say that this species has become extinct. EXTINCTION is often a natural process and has occurred for millions of years.

HOW TO PRESERVE THE EARTH´S BIOSPHERE

Balance within the biosphere is a fragile miracle. Life on planet Earth is unique and it´s our responsability to preserve it. Making simple changes in our lives helps to preserve biodiversity. There are many things that you can do to help. Just start with the Three R´s Rule: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Hey kids!

You all know how good mobile devices are in education and how you love them, don´t you? Today, I invite you all to visit this web. It has a lot of apps to be used in the science class and they are organised according to age, level and use. Click here and start as soon as possible :)    WEB

THE PLANT KINGDOM (I)

FLOWERING PLANTS

Flowering plants are the biggest group of plants on Earth. Most flowering plants use sexual reproduction. They grow flowers which are their reproductive organs. These plants reproduce through seeds and produce them in two different ways.

• In ANGIOSPERMS pollinated flowers produce fruits with seeds inside. Angiosperms include not only roses or daffodils, but also trees such as cherry trees or fig trees. Bushes like blackberries and raspberries, and grasses, such as wheat and rice, are also angiosperms.

• GYMSNOSPERMS have small flowers. They don´t produce any fruit and their seeds develop in cones. Many gymnsperms, such as pine trees, have long thin leaves called needles.

NON-FLOWERING PLANTS

Non-flowering plants do not produce seeds. They produce asexually using spores. There are 2 main groups of non-flowering plants: ferns and mosses.

FERNS

• They have roots and strong stems which grow under the ground.
• They have large leaves called fronds.
• They produce spores inside sori on the underside of the fronds.
• Ferms are one of the oldest plants on Earth. They evolved more than 300 million years ago.

MOSSES

• They have very simple stems and leaves. Their roots are called rhizoids.
• They produce spores inside capsules.

THE PLANT KINGDOM (II)

Hi kids! New lovely topic to study :)

Look at this image. Can you match the words to the definition?

You must know...

• ROOTS hold the plant in the ground. Roots absorb water and minerals needed for nutrition from the ground through the root hairs.
• STEM holds up the other parts of the plant. It also transports materials to and from the leaves. Water and minerals travel through the stem to the leaves for photosynthesis. The food produced through photosynthesis then travels to the other parts of the plant.
• LEAVES contain chlorophyll, a green substance which is necesarry for photosynthesis. Most leaves have two parts: the petiole and the blade. Veins in the blade support the leaf and carry water and minerals. On the underside of the blade, there are tiny holes, called stomata. The gas exchange in leaves takes place through stomata.

I suggest that you use this application, it is amazing!  WEB  

Do you want to get this certificate?

The course is very easy and it will help you

 to study your new lesson :) Here you have some images from the course.

 
 
 
 
If you don´t want to do the course, watch this easy video about photosynthesis VIDEO or the difficult one :)  VIDEO

Do you really know the process of photosynthesis? Have a look! :)

1. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil.
2. Xylem cells transport this mixture of water and minerals, called raw sap, through the stem to the leaves.
3. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) through their stomata. In certain parts of the plant cells called chloroplasts, chlorophyll collects solar energy to transform water, minerals and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen (O2).
4. Phloem cells carry the glucose, the plants´food, through the stem to all the parts of the plant.

Why photosynthesis is the most important process to life on Earth?

• The photosynthesis provides us with oxygen to breathe. For this reason plants are called the lungs of the Earth.
• It consumes carbon dioxide, which is toxic to most living things.
• It transforms water and minerals into food. Then animals can feed on plants to get energy to live.

Good job, guys! Here you have your word list! Study hard! :)

HEALTH AND ILLNESS

In this unit, you will study diseases such as infectious, contagious and non-contagious diseases; the causes and the treatment needed; the ways to prevent these diseases.

How can you lead a healthier life? It is very important you adopt healthy eating habits and be aware of the dangers of too many hours spent in front of a screen, nintendo, wifi o ps4. Have a responsible attitude towards your body :)

• Why people are living longer nowadays? Think about things that doctors and hospitals have now that didn´t exist 100 years ago such as wider access to medical treatment, clean drinking water, better sanitation, advances such as x-rays, vaccinations, antibiotics, blood transfusions...
• What is a first aid and what it is used for? Emergency given immediately after an accident.
• What are these things used for? PAINKILLER (to stop pain), THERMOMETER (to measure temperature), EARPLUGS (to protect ears from noise or water), ANTIBIOTICS (to fight infections) X-RAYS (to see inside the body) and HELMET(to protect the skull).
  

Here you have a list of words you must study :)

DISEASES AND ILLNESSES

Your are going to learn about infections and contagious diseases (they are caused by pathogens); how diseases are spread; you will distinguish diseases caused by bacteria and virus. You also will study non-infectious diseases and compare them to infectious diseases.

EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INFECTIOUS AND NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

HOW DO INFECTIOUS DISEASES SPREAD?

10 INGENIOUS WAYS TO FIGHT OFF THE SNIFFIES :)

1. Warm your nose.
2. Don´t shake hands.
3. Wash clothes on a hot cycle.
4. Cut down on sugar.
5. Get eight hours´ sleep.
6. Observe the two-seat rule.
7. Ditch the sanitiser.
8. Wash out your nose with salt water.
9. Exercise moderately.
10. Take vitamin D supplements.

NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES
They are not caused by organisms, and therefore, cannot be spread from person to person. They are caused by factors such as environment, unhealthy lifestyle, genetics, vitamin deficiency or organ malfunction.
Here you have some of them:

• ALLERGY
• HEART DISEASE
• MENTAL DISEASES
• CANCER
• DIABETES

TIPS TO STAY HEALTHY

1. Eat healthy
2. Do exercise
3. Sleep enough
4. Keep clean
5. Prevention is better than cure
6. Game over!
7. Say no!
