Water in the ancient Egypt

https://sites.google.com/a/correo.ies-sabinar.com/bilingual/curriculo-integrado/1eso/term2/1-2-5-history

Here you have the link to the project about water in the ancient Egypt.
Remember that the project is divided into two parts.
1: Questions on the Nile river, to be done on a piece of sheet (not into the notebook).
2: Brochure. You have to design it according to the teacher's explanation in class by using a DIN A 4 sized cardboard.

There are some links out of work, but with the links that work, apart from the websites you find on the internet, you can do an excellent job.

As usual, ask me any question you have.

DEADLINE: June, 1st week.

- Activities done in class.
- All the information in the English book (from page 40 to page 46)

Hominisation process (2nd video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUoiLDEhuL0

This is the 2nd video we watched in class about the hominisation process from the minute 20.
Copy into your notebook the following questions and answer them.

5. When did the Homo Sapiens settle in Europe?

6. Who were the Homo Neanderthalensis? Did  they have some contact with the Homo Sapiens?

7. What were the religious believes of the Homo Sapiens like?

Exam: Climate and bioclimatic zones

These are the main points to be focused on:
Parts in English:

- Elements of climate (table done in class)
 There will be some exercises about this topic: to fill in a table; to answer some questions from a text, etc.

- What is the difference between  climate and  weather?

- What is a biome?

Partes en español:

- Mirar mapas de isobaras,  isoyetas e  isotermas porque tendréis que diferenciarlas. Hicimos una actividad de comentar un mapa del tiempo, que está en este mismo blog. Repasadla.
Ejemplo de mapa de isotermas.


- Estudiar los factores del clima porque puede haber varias preguntas relacionadas con este punto: verdadero/falso; imágenes para identificar y explicar el factor del clima de que se trata, etc.

Ejemplo:


- Los biomas: preguntas del tipo de las que hemos corregido en clase (página 65 del libro en español).

Factors which affect climate

This is the video that we have watched in class. I recommend you to watch it again in order to prepare your exam.

Factors of climate

Vocabulary about different types of weather

Comentar un mapa del tiempo

Los mapas del tiempo nos indican cómo es el tiempo en un determinado lugar. Para ello hay que saber:

Los anticiclones o altas presiones son zonas de tiempo estable y soleado. Están dominadas por masas de aire frío que se quedan en las capas más bajas de la atmósfera. El aire frío pesa más que el aire caliente y por esto no asciende hacia capas altas de la atmósfera. Los anticiclones se representan con una A en los mapas y la presión atmosférica es mayor de 1013 mb (milibares). 

Las deprersiones, borrascas o zonas de bajas presiones son zonas de tiempo lluvioso. Están dominadas por masas de aire cálido que se elevan hacia capas más altas de la atmósfera. El aire caliente pesa poco, es poco denso y por esto asciende hacia las partes altas de la atmósfera. Las borrascas se representan con una B en los mapas y la presión atmosférica es menor de 1013 mb.

Las isobaras son las líneas que aparecen en el mapa y que unen puntos con igual presión atmosférica. La presión atmosférica se mide en milibares. Son los números que aparecen en las isobaras que rodean a los anticiclones y borrascas. 

Cuanto más cerca están las isobaras, más viento hace. 

En los anticiclones en el Hemisferio Norte el viento gira hacia la derecha y en las borrascas hacia la izquierda. En el Hemisferio Sur al revés.

Observa el mapa y responde:
¿En qué zonas hay buen tiempo? ¿Por qué?
¿En qué zonas hay mal tiempo? ¿Por qué?

Unit 2: points 2 and 3

Hello, everyone!!
Here you have the rest of the activities to develop the point 2 (tectonic plates and relief formation) and the activity to develop the following 3rd point (about the changes of the relief). Before starting a new point of the index, do not forget to write its title.

Point 2
Do this activity below the activities you have already done about the video that we have corrected in class. Copy these tables into your notebook and fill them in Spanish. Use the Spanish book to get the information (all the information is in the Spanish book). In order to translate the concepts into English you can use either a dictionary or the English book. There is a concept per each row. Do not forget to define it in Spanish and to translate it into English
Rotate the page to landscape orientation and use a side for each table. 

Haz esta actividad debajo de las actividades que has hecho ya sobre el vídeo que hemos corregido en clase. Copia estas tablas en tu cuaderno y rellénalas en español. Usa el libro en español para obtener la información (todo está en el libro en español). Hay un concepto por cada fila. No olvides definir cada uno en español y traducirlo al inglés. 
Por la hoja en sentido horizontal y usa una hoja para cada tabla.

Point 3

Read this text and answer the questions below. You might need the meaning of the following words. If you need it, look up the rest of the words on the dictionary.

- "To get worn down": Desgastar.
- Beat: golpear. En esta frase quiere decir que no hay nada que erosione más el Gran Cañón que el agua del río Colorado.

What causes valleys to form? Why do streams and lakes get muddy after a rain storm? Why are the rocks at the bottom of a river usually round? The answer to all these questions is EROSION!

Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. Erosion can be caused by natural elements such as wind and glacial ice. But anyone who has ever seen a picture of the Grand Canyon knows that nothing beats the slow steady movement of water when it comes to changing the Earth.

The key to erosion is something called "fluid flow." Water, air, and even ice are fluids because they tend to flow from one place to another due to the force of gravity. Of the three, liquid water is the most common agent of erosion because there's so much of it on the surface of the Earth.

a) Define in a line at most what erosion is.
b) What are the natural elements that cause the erosion?
c) What is the most common agent of erosion? Why?

Have a nice weekend!

The tectonic plates

Hello! Watch this video about the tectonic plates and answer the questions below.
1. Which core is it made up of molten materials?
2. There are two kinds of crust. What are they? Which is thicker?
3. There are three kinds of movement of the tectonic plates. One of them is the tectonic plates move towards each other, what are the other two movements?
4. Apart from volcanoes, what type of relief can the tectonic plates cause.
5. What year did a fisherman see ash emerging from the sea? What was it due to? Where was it happening?
6. What happens within the volcano to make it erupt?
7. What is the lava?
8. Bring to the class a piece of news about a tragedy caused by a volcano or an earthquake everywhere at any time in the world. You can look it into the internet and print it. If you do not print the news,  copy it  into your notebook.
