UNIT - MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM

LESSON: USING ELECTROMAGNETISM

We will start doing our Unit song? Are you ready??...

...

Well, now let's remember... How can we create magnetism?...

... We can create magnetism using an electromagnet.

And how can create electricity?? We can create electricity using a magnet and metal conductors...

Now... One more question for you... What could we do with the electricity that we create using that device?...

Well.. We can do many things... Yes... One of the things is to create mechanical energy to move things... We can create an electric motor.

This video shows you how an electric motor works:

And this video shows you how and electric generator works:

And this is your lesson's summary:

...

In our last Unit we were talking about the two types of forces that can change things... Do you remember them?

- Contact forces.

- Non-contact forces.

Examples of non-contact forces are: Gravity and magnetism...

And magnetism is what we are going to learn about today... This video will help you to understand it:

Now... Today's lesson: 

MATTER CHANGES:

Matter can change in two ways... There are two types of changes in matter: Physical changes and Chemical changes. This next video gives an explanation of their characteristics:

Chemical changes are also called CHEMICAL REACTIONS. On chemical reactions we have two components:

REACTANTS: Are the substances involved in the reaction.
PRODUCTS: Is the result of the reaction.

In this video you can see an example of REACTANTS and PRODUCTS, with food:

 Well, chemical changes are also called chemical reactions. Some examples of chemical reactions are: OXIDATION, COMBUSTION and FERMENTATION.

These videos explain them:

OXIDATION:

COMBUSTION:

FERMENTATION:

And now that we know about Physical Changes and Chemical Changes we can write down our lesson's summary (... that has 2 parts):

THIS IS YOUR LESSON'S SUMMARY:

YOUR HOMEWORK:

- You have to copy your summary in your notebook, and you have to study it. You also have to review our summary from our two last lessons, so you will remember everything that we are learning. Try to explain it to someone in your family... And if they are very busy... Pretend that you are explaining it to your classmates. 😉

Let's give it up singing our Unit's song!:

.........

Now... Today's lesson: 

SEPARATING MIXTURES:

One question for you: Imagine that you have a bowl of cereal and milk... But you want to eat them separately... What method would you use? You would have to use a method called: FILTRATION... When you use this method you separate the solids from the liquids... But... Can we separate liquids? Yes, we can... We have to use other different methods.

This next video shows you some methods to separate mixtures... The video has an explanation and also some questions that you can try to answer as a little contest:

THIS IS YOUR LESSON'S SUMMARY:




YOUR HOMEWORK:

LESSON: WE CAN CLASSIFY MATTER

Let's start our lesson doing our song:

...

Our lesson today is called: "We can classify matter" and we are going to learn about three important ideas: STATES OF MATTER - CHANGES OF STATE IN MATTER - PURE SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES.

To understand this better we are going to watch three explanations:

STATES OF MATTER:

CHANGES OF STATE IN MATTER:

PURE SUBSTANCES AND MIXTURES:

And this is our LESSON'S SUMMARY:

SO... this is  YOUR HOMEWORK:

- You have to do your summary in your notebook, and you have to study it. Try to explain it to someone in your family... And if they are very busy... Pretend that you are explaining it to your classmates. 😉

---------------------------------------------
Well, we are starting a NEW UNIT: Matter changes... What is it about??

Well I think that we can all remember the three states of matter... Right?

Well... On this Unit we are going to explore the relationship between matter and energy... How energy makes things change from one state into another... Just to get started we are going to learn a song that tells us really good information about the three states of matter:

....

And ... We are starting a new Unit... You should do your Unit's cover in your notebook 😉... You can be inspired by the images from the song video... Or you can also be inspired by the book Unit's cover... Anyway... Try to be creative:

YOUR HOMEWORK:

- You have to do your UNIT's MIND MAP IN YOUR NOTEBOOK.
- You also have to review (study) your summaries from this Unit.

Keep working hard, the better you work, the better you become!! See you.

NATURAL SCIENCE - UNIT: MATTER AND MATERIALS - PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

NATURAL SCIENCE

UNIT - MATTER AND MATERIALS

LESSON: PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS

...

Well, let's start doing our Unit's song:

.....

Before we learn new things let's remember what we have been learning on this unit so far:

- We have been learning about: GENERAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS: MASS and VOLUME.

 - And we have also been learning about: SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER: HARDNESS, BRITTLENESS, ELASTICITY and DENSITY.

........

Now, let's get back to your infant days 😉 to talk about materials... Do you remember the story of 'The three little pigs'? ... I'm sure you do 😊... I have a question for you... If we think about materials... What was the problem that the two first pigs had with their houses...?

Well yes! The problem was that they were not using the right materials to build them... That's why the wolf could destroy them... But their brother was building the right house using the right materials...

That happens with everything that we want to create... Houses, machines, structures... We need to know the PROPERTIES of the materials that we are using... So the final result is the right one, and we can use them to live, to protect ourselves, to cook...

That is what we will learn today on our lesson.

One of the properties we are going to learn about is Thermal Conductivity, that is the capacity of one object to conduct heat. This next video shows you what thermal conductivity is through one experiment:

Now watch this other video about materials that can absorb water...

... The opposite idea to absorbing water it's IMPERMEABILITY... Remember this word.

So... We have been talking about HEAT CONDUCTION and IMPERMEABILITY (which is opposite to absorption)... The third idea that we have to learn is TRANSPARENCY.

...

Now... Can you think about some examples where these properties are important?... Well let me give you one... ARQUITECTURE... Yes! Creating houses and buildings... If we are in a place without light, we need to use transparent materials... If we are in a cold place we need to use materials that don't let heat get out of our house...

This is what you will find on your LESSON's SUMMARY (this summary has 2 parts):

Your homework:

You have to do your lesson's summary in your notebook and you have to study it... And you also have to study and review your previous summaries from this Unit. 

REMEMBER: After studying your summary you should explain it to somebody from your family, if they are very busy... Then you can pretend (imagine) that you are explaining it to your classmates... That will help you to understand it better! 

NATURAL SCIENCE - UNIT: MATTER AND MATERIALS - LESSON: FORCES EVERYWHERE

NATURAL SCIENCE

UNIT - MATTER AND MATERIALS

LESSON: FORCES EVERYWHERE

...

Let's start cheering up... Singing our Unit's song:

....

Now... We have been learning about properties of matter... Now that we know about that... I have a question: If we want to use and transform matter... How can we do that? How can we make it happen??

... Well, to make it happen we have to use forces... Sometimes forces are produced by humans or animals... And sometimes they are produced by nature... Forces transform things... Forces are everywhere... Like on this picture... Here we can see an archer transforming the BOW and THE STRING 🏹 ... using the force of his arms:




In this video we can see an explanation of what FORCES are:

And this video shows you how forces can change the motion and the shape of objects:

So... We have learned that:

- If we want to transform matter we need to use forces.

- Forces can change things around us.

- Forces have different effects on things.

Now, this are the effects that forces can produce:

OUR LESSON'S SUMMARY:

Your homework:

You have to copy this summary in your notebook and you have to study it... And you also have to study and review the other summaries from this Unit. 
REMEMBER: After studying your summary you should explain it to somebody from your family, if they are very busy... Then you can pretend (imagine) that you are explaining it to your classmates... That will help you to understand it and memorize it better! 

😉

NATURAL SCIENCE - UNIT: MATTER AND MATERIALS - LESSON: SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER

NATURAL SCIENCE

UNIT: MATTER AND MATERIALS

NEW LESSON: SPECIFIC PROPERTIES OF MATTER

And yes... We will start our lesson doing our Unit's song:

Imagine you have to do a list of materials that you need to create a tent to go camping ⛺️... 
And now... Imagine you need to do a list of materials that you need to build a house 🏠.

... Would you use the same materials? 

... NO... Why? They will have different characteristics because a tent a house have different uses... A tent has to be light... So you can transport it. A house has to be strong, because it stays a the same place for years and years. The materials that we use to create a tent are soft and flexible... And the materials that we use to build a house are strong and hard, they have different properties. 

This video explains you about them:

And this is our lesson's summary:

Your homework is to CREATE YOUR SUMMARY IN YOUR NOTEBOOK and STUDY IT.
