THE EARTH

Would you like to revise some of the things that we´ve learnt about our planet Earth? Watch the videos, then,  label a diagram about Earth´s seasons and  play a game about  Earth structure!

Test your memory! Click on the link below and label the diagram:





Click on the link below and play a challenging game: test how quick you are at labelling the Earth´s layers!

To finish, watch the last video again and say if these statements are TRUE or FALSE (correct the false sentences):
  1. The crust is thicker than the upper mantle.
  2. The lower mantle is thicker than the upper mantle.
  3. The upper mantle is denser than the lower mantle due to pressure.
  4. The outer core is hotter than the inner core.
  5. The inner core is the coldest.
  6. The outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY IT!

WELCOME TO OUR SCIENCE SPACE!

This is the place where you can follow 1st ESOB students´steps in their journey through natural science: from the broadest (the universe), to the smallest (the atom).
We will share our experiences here, we´ll practise what we learn in class, we´ll link to interesting websites to learn more about science topics and we´ll even have the chance to play games and have fun!!

Why not start having a look at our galaxy and our solar system? Link to the following website and do an activity that is "out of this world"!: Astronomy and space science activity. Watch the video and do the quiz. Good luck!
