2º Natural Science. SOLUTIONS + Padlet

Good morning!

Here you have all the SOLUTIONS of the unit.

As today this is the last post of natural science, we would like you to think of everything you've learnt during this year and tell us what you liked the most in this padlet. You can make a drawing, record yourself explaining it...feel free!

We all know that you've worked a lot and you've made a tremendous effort due to the circumstances that we've lived.

Thank you very much students and parents for all your hard work!!

(Hoy os dejamos un Padlet donde podéis contarnos a través de un dibujo, un video...lo que queráis, lo que más os ha gustado de este curso.)

2º Natural Science. FLOWERING AND NON-FLOWERING PLANTS. (Atividad para DRIVE) + LW opcional

FLOWERING AND NON-FLOWERING PLANTS

Good morning everyone!

A new day has come and we are going to keep learning about plants.

Today we will see the difference between FLOWERING and NON-FLOWERING plants.


(Hoy seguiremos aprendiendo sobre las plantas. Veremos que existen plantas CON flor y plantas SIN flor.)

As we can see in our daily life, most plants are FLOWERING plants, they have bright colours and they produce different types of seeds to reproduce.

Although you know it from the previous year, let’s have a look at the parts of a flower and how they reproduce.



(Como podemos ver en nuestra vida diaria, la mayoría de las plantas son CON flor, tienen colores llamativos y producen distintos tipos de semillas para reproducirse. Aunque lo recordaréis del año pasado, vamos a echar un vistazo a cómo se reproducen las plantas)

On the other hand there also exist NON-FLOWERING plants, like ferns and mosses, which do not produce seeds. They use spores to reproduce instead.

Spores…?? Ferns…?? Mosses…?? What are you talking about, teacher? 
Let’s see it clearer with some videos we hope help you to understand it better.


(Por otro lado tenemos las plantas SIN flor, como los helechos, los musgos y coníferas, las cuales no producen semillas. Utilizan esporas para reproducirse. ¿Esporas? ¿Helechos? ¿Musgos? ¿De qué me hablas, profe? Os dejamos algunos videos para ver si nos aclaramos un poco y os ayudamos a entenderlo mejor...)

2º Natural Science. PLANT REPRODUCTION + Padlet

Good morning everyone!!

Are you ready for today's lesson?

As you know, many plants produce seed inside their flowers.

Do you know that we can use seeds to plant fruits and vegetables or eat them? 

(Como sabes, muchas plantas producen semillas en el interior de sus flores. ¿Sabes que podemos usar esas semillas para plantar nuevas frutos y vegetales o comérnoslas? Hoy veremos la diferencia entre la flor, el fruto y la semilla)

Today we'll see the differences among a flower, a fruit and a seed.

2º Natural Science. CLASSIFYING TREES (ACTIVIDAD PARA DRIVE)

Good morning everyone!!

Today we’re going to see how we can CLASSIFY TREES. 

There are two types of tree: DECIDUOUS trees lose their leaves in autumn and winter, and EVERGREEN trees which keep their leaves green throughout the year.

(Existen 2 tipos de árboles: los de hoja CADUCA, que pierden sus hojas en otoño e invierno y los de hoja PERENNE, que conservan sus hojas a lo largo de todo el año)

Here you have a wonderful explanation to understand better if they lose their leaves or not.

2º Natural Science. CLASSIFYING PLANTS + Liveworksheet

CLASSIFYING PLANTS

Good morning!! How are you today? We hope you’re all fine :)
Today we are going to see different ways of classifying plants.


As you know, we can classify them in many ways. For example, as wild or cultivated or whether we can eat them.

(Hoy veremos las diferentes formas de clasificar las plantas. Primero repasaremos las partes de una planta.)

First of all, we will watch a video to review what the parts of a plant are.

link:    What are the parts of a plant?

Now we want you to focus your attention in the main difference between WILD and CULTIVATED plants. There’s an easy video animation.

Remember! WILD plants grow in nature and CULTIVATED plants need our help to grow.


(Ahora nos vamos a centrar en las diferencias entre Silvestres y Cultivadas. Acordaos que las plantas SILVESTRES crecen en la naturaleza y las CULTIVADAS necesitan nuestra ayuda para crecer)

Video animation https://youtu.be/C1cEZ6mwkYQ

And finally, here you have a video about the food that we get from plants.

(Finalmente, tenemos un video de cómo obtenemos comida de las plantas)
