THE EARTH'S RELIEF

Internal and external processes change the Earth's relief

INTERNAL PROCESSES

• They cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
• A volcano is created when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth through a crack o fissure. The parts of a volcano are its crater, its main vent and its volcanic cone.
• Earthquakes are caused by the vibrations of the ground moving inside the Earth. This movement is transmitted from a point called the hypocentre.

EXTERNAL PROCESSES

• Geological agents change the Earth's relief. the most important geological agents are wind and water (rivers and streams, sea and ice).
• Geological agents produce erosion, transportation and sedimentation. they create V-shaped valleys and beaches.

ROCKS AND MINERALS

• Rocks are made up of minerals. depending on their origins, rocks can be:
• Sedimentary rocks, like clay. They are formed by compacting deposited material.
• Magmatic rocks. they are formed from magma. They can be volcanic like pumice or plutonic like granite.
• Metaphormic rocks, like slate. they are not melted rocks, but they have been under high pressure and temperatures

NUTRITION

NUTRITION is the function that allows the cells of living things to have the energy and tissues they need to perfurm their functions. Four systems take part un nutrition: the digestive system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system and the excretory system.

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

It is charge of digestion: it changes food into the nutrients cells need.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

• It is in charge of breathing: it takes oxygen from the air that cells need and expels carbon dioxide.
• Breathing has two processes: lung ventilation and gas exchange.



EXCRETORY SYSTEM

• It is in charge of excretion: it eliminates waste substances carried by blood.
• it is made up of the sweat grands of the skin and the urinary tract

"Once upon a time.....the life" THE SKIN

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

• It is in charge of circulation: it transports nutrients and oxygen to the body's cells.
• It is made up of the heart, blood and blood vessels.
• Human circulation is closed and double.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM

A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY

The Solar System is made up os a star called the Sun and eight planets that orbit around it: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It also has satellites orbiting around the planets and celestial bodies like asteroids, meteorites and comets

THE LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM

 

A very brief summary

The LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM is made up of the SKELETON and the MUSCULATURE

THE SKELETON

The skeleton is made up of:

• Bones
• Joints
• Cartilage

THE MUSCULATURE

The musculature is made up of all the muscles in the body.

Tendons attach muscles to the bones

Muscles are responsible for movement

TYPES OF MOVEMENTS

• Voluntary Movements: they respond to an order from the brain.
• Involuntary Movements: they respond to an order from:
• Spinal cord: Reflexes
• Brain stem:

PREVENTING AND TREATING INFECTIOUS DISEASES

REMEMBER:

• Health is a state of well being. Disease is when the body stops working correctly and symptoms appear.
• We can stay healthy by keeping healthy habits, like enough rest, a balanced diet, good hygiene and physical exercise.

Preventing infectious diseases:

• With good hygiene.
• With vaccines: where a dead or inactive pathogen enters a healthy body.

Treatment for infections diseases:

• Diseases caused by microorganisms are treated by antibiotics.
• Infections caused by fungy are treated with antifugal medicines.
• Medicines for diseases caused by viruses can only relieve symptoms.

MATTER

Matter is everything we can see or touch.

Properties of MATTER:

• They have mass and occupy volume.
• There are other properties :
• Density.
• Hardness
• Elasticity
• Water resistance
• Transparency
• We can distinguish one type of matter from another by their characteristic properties.
• Matter that we use for making objectos is called material.
• Mater can be in three states: solid, liquid and gaseose

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLIMATE AND WEATHER

TYPES OF ECOSYSTEMS

There are two types of ecosystems: Natural ecosystem or Man - Made ecosystem

NATURAL ECOSYSTEM

• They are made by nature.
• They can be:
•  Terrestrial, like temperate forests, jungles, savannahs, cold deserts or warm deserts.
• Aquatic, like river or sea.

MAN - MADE ECOSYSTEM

• These are made by humans.
• Cities, town and crop fields are examples of man made ecosystems

SOUND AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

 A VERY BRIEF SUMMARY

SPREADING SOUND:

• It spreads in a straight line.
• It travels in all directions.
• It travels 340 metres per second.
• When it is reflected, it produced an echo or a reverberation.

CHARACTERISTIC OF SOUND

• Intensity: it tells you if a sound is lour or soft.
• Patch: it tells you if a sound is high or low.
• Timbre: it is the quality that lets us differenciate between similar sounds.

Vocabulary:

• Vocal cords: cuerdas vocales.
• Vibrate: vibrar.
• Throat:garganta
• Quality: calidad
• Intensity: intensidad
• Pitch: tono
• Timbre: timbre
• Whisper: susurro

Entrevista con Stacey...AN INTERVIEW WITH STACEY

Hoy los alumnos de sexto han podido practicar su inglés con Stacey, consiguiendo acercarse a un inglés más real. Stacey es una amiga rapera escocesa, más concretamente de la ciudad de Glasgow. La actividad consistió en hacer de entrevistadores y ella de entrevistada. La charla fue en directo. Fue una sesión súper agradable.
Quiero agradecer tanto a los estudiantes de sexto por el buen comportamiento que tuvieron, como a Stacey, por habernos podido dedicar su tiempo, estando ella siempre tan atareada.

Este video habla de todo lo que hemos tratado en clase en la parte de science: magnetism

Esta canción muy fácil nos servirá de repaso

A very brief summary:

• Definition of MAGNETISM: Magnetism is the property some materials have to attract certain metals

• Magnets have two poles: a North pole and a South pole.

• Same poles repel each other and different poles attract each other.
