PLOP, PLOZ, FIZZ FAST: The Factors that affect reaction time!

Here you have a video about our research on the factors that affect the reaction time.

THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN: EXAMPLE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD

The discovery of penicillin, one of the world’s first antibiotics, marks a true turning point in human history — when doctors finally had a tool that could completely cure their patients of deadly infectious diseases.

Here you have a worksheet about the discovery of penicillin: 

A good example of the scientific method!

Here you have some exercices to practice Naming and Formula Writing

Inorganic Chemistry. But they are in Spanish. Try to do all activities.

GETTING TO KNOW THE PERIODIC TABLE

Here you have an interesting link to the Periodic Table of the Royal Chemical Society. You have plenty of information on it!
View data trends across the table, the states of elements at different temperatures and the discovery of elements through history.

ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBER

THE STRUCTURE OF AN ATOM

What is an atom? And a proton? Atoms, protons, neutrons.....with this VIDEO and its accompanying WORKSHEET you will understand it easily.

SCIENCE PROJECTS: SEPARATING METHODS

Our students continue to work as a scientists. Last task consisted of separating the different compounds of a heterogeneous mixture. I hope these techniques can be useful for your everyday routine

Here you have your final scientific reports. You should take a look at them. There are some really good.

It would be also a great idea to show your parents. They will be very happy with you.

Why don't you tell me which project you like most?

This video can be really helpful to revise the unit about the diversity of matter.

Learning about matter

In this wikispace you would find anything you need for this topic about the diversity of matter.

CLASSIFYING MATTER

WHAT DOES A MACARONI SALAD CONTAIN?

Are you sure what you eat. Just an advice: let's have a look on this video. 

In this other link you can learn how to classify matter.

FROZEN BUBBLES IN CALGARY

Blowing bubbles ... When it gets REALLY cold outside, you either hide indoors, or take advantage of the rare opportunities such cold air offers.
See this video and try to explain what happens.

PLAYING WITH MARBLES

Sample Laboratory Report: Density of marble

This experience explored the relationship between the volume of a marble in cm³ and the mass of a marble in grams. The experiment seeks to determine whether the relationship between the volume of a marble and the mass is linearily related. If a linear relationshipis found, then the slope of the relationship would be the density of glass.

SCIENCE PROJECTS: SPONGE RESEARCH

Sponges aren’t just for washing dishes! 

Our students have started to work as a scientists. Their first task is exploring the sponges world. Why are they so importan? What can we learn if we compare different sponges?

Here you have your final scientific reports. You should have a look on them. There are some really good.

It would be also a great idea to show your parents. They will be very happy with you.

Why don't you tell me which project you like most?

SIMULATE THE DENSITY AND BUOYANCY

In this link you will find an interesting simulation to calculate the density or to solve the misterious materials you have. Try it and prepare a chart with, at least, 10 different objects. (volumen, material,...)
