SOCIAL SCIENCE: ROCKS AND MINERALS

Remember the 3 layers of the Earth (lithosphere = litosfera):

The 3 layers of the Earth are: crust, mantle and core. It is very hot inside the Earth!

ROCKS CAN BE SEDIMENTARY, METAMORPHIC OR IGNEOUS:

The Earth's crust is made up of rocks. There are 3 types of rocks: sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous.

Rocks are made up of minerals. Minerals have different properties, like:
- Colour: for example, sulphur is yellow and cobalt is blue.

         
- Hardness: diamonds are hard but talc is soft

           
- Lustre: some minerals are shiny, like gold and others are dull, like graphite.

              

Here there is a game to check how much you know about minerals: http://www.oum.ox.ac.uk/thezone/minerals/define/quiz/index.htm

SOCIAL SCIENCE: RIVERS

We are learning about rivers in Social Science, too.

SOCIAL SCIENCE: WATER

We are learning about water in Social Science.

Water chemical formula  is H2O. Water molecules have 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and 1 of oxygen (O).

Water can be in 3 different states: solid, liquid or gas.

Let's learn the names of the changes of state:

The amount of water in our planet is always the same. It changes state continually. This is called water cycle.

This video will help you understand water cycle better:

NATURAL SCIENCE: MATTER

We are learning about matter in Natural Science. We've learned that everything around us is madre of matter.

MATTER IS ANYTHING THAT HAS WEIGHT AND TAKES UP A SPACE.

So, our question is... Is air matter? Watch this video to discover!

Second question... What is heavier?

a) A kilogram of lead

b) A kilogram of feathers.

            

The answer is....

THEY HAVE THE SAME WEIGHT! (1 KILOGRAM)

Now let's learn about the three states of matter:

MATERIALS HAVE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES:

Some materials are thermal conductors and some are thermal insulators:

Materials can be soft or hard, tough or fragile, plastic or elastic.

TOUGH

FRAGILE

PLASTIC

ELASTIC
