2ND GRADE: THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Hello little stars!

We are studying celestial bodies in the classroom!. 
We are learning many things about the Sun, the Moon, the stars and our blue planet: The Earth!

Teacher Patri brought a shinny globe to show us the Earth, and moreover, she brought the Sun, the moon and the Earth , all together!


What's the name of the continent that you can see on the globe in  dark orange ?

YES, IT'S AFRIKA! WELL DONE!

And now...here you have a funny story about a man that lives on the moon!

We are also learning about the phases of the moon!

Here you have information about the four seasons. Pay attention to the accent of the man speaking...
Can you guess which country is he from?

And now...the ASTEROID GAME!

The asteroid game!

Happy Easter everyone!

5TH GRADE: ECOSYSTEMS

Hello ecofriends!

In 5th grade we are studying ecosystems! 

Here you have some information about them!

Ecosystem is a combination of two words, Ecological & System.

It is related to ecology which means the study of the interaction between living and non-living things in a specific area.

There can be several types of ecosystems e.g. fresh water ecosystem like in river, or pond ecosystem,desert ecosystem, ecosystem in cold regions like Tundra ecosystem or Antarctica ecosystem.

And...What is a BIOME?

A biome is a large area with similar microorganisms.

Each of these large communities contain species that are adapted to its varying conditions of water, heat, and soil. 

There is a slight difference between the two 

words ecosystem and biome.

  

An ecosystem is much smaller than a biome.  

Conversely, a biome can be thought of many similar ecosystems throughout the world 

grouped together.  

An ecosystem can be as large as the Sahara Desert, or as small as a puddle.

Here you have more information about ecosystems and biomes:
