ACTIVITY N° 12 SCIENCE: ENERGY AND LIGHT

Good afternoon, everyone!

How are you?

Today we are going to work with our science book. We are going to talk about ENERGY and LIGHT.

Let’s start by writing down the date on your ring binders.

Tuesday, April 21st  

Today is sunny.

We are in autumn. 

SCIENCE

Today we are going to learn about THE SUN'S LIGHT.

The sun gives us heat, light and the air we breathe. But have you ever thought about just how powerful it really is or the potential scale of what it can do for us?



THINK AND ANSWER: Can light transfer energy?

To find out the answer to that question, we are going to watch the following video:

AFTER YOU WATCH: Answer the following questions.

1. What is the star at the centre of our solar system?
2. Does the Sun provide us with energy? (provide=give)
3. Is the surface of the Sun hotter than its core (centre)?
4. Is the Earth bigger than the Sun?
5. Where is the energy of the sun created?
6. How long does it take sunlight to reach the Earth?

  

Let’s sing together!

NOW, ANSWER:

·     The song talks about a sunny day,
how do you feel on a sunny day?

·     Make a list of the activities you do on a sunny day.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES: 

-Read the text on page 16 (Exploring science).

-Conduct the experiment on pages 18 and 19.

Let’s find out: Can light energy change objects?

You will need the following materials:

1.    CONSTRUCTION PAPER (CARTULINA)

2.    SMALL CLASSROOM OBJECTS (ÚTILES ESCOLARES PEQUEÑOS)

[Traducción de los pasos:

1. Ubicar un pedazo de cartulina en un lugar donde dé el sol.

2. Elegir algunos objetos escolares y ubicarlos sobre la cartulina.

3. Predecir qué va a ocurrir con el color de la cartulina luego de estar expuesto a la luz solar.

4. Dejar los objetos hasta que hayan recibido luz solar por lo menos por una hora o más minutos. Retirar los objetos y escribir los resultados]

Conclusions: Do you agree with these conclusions?

·     Light energy can change objects.

·     When direct sunlight strikes a piece of construction paper, the light causes a change in the paper.

·     Light energy has an effect on the colour of the construction paper.

[El día de hoy trabajaremos con los temas energía y luz del libro de ciencias (Exploring Science).

Introducimos el concepto de la luz como fuente de energía. Para ello, los alumnos deberán mirar el video y contestar las preguntas.

También, vamos a escuchar la canción “Here comes the sun” y completar su letra.

Como actividades opcionales podrán leer la página 16 del libro y, además, les compartimos un experimento en el que los alumnos podrán observar cómo la luz modifica los objetos.

Cuando la luz solar choca contra la cartulina, provoca un cambio en su color. 

Si deciden realizar el experimento, por favor recuerden enviarle una foto o un video (lo que prefieran) a su profesora de inglés.]  

(Estimadas familias: podrán entregar las respuestas de las actividades en un documento con formato Word o con una foto de la carpeta. Por favor recuerden incluir en el ASUNTO del mail: nombre, apellido y el número de actividad. ¡Muchas gracias!)

¡Esperamos que disfruten la clase de hoy!
