Basic physical science topics include:
-ASTRONOMY:the study of the universe and the planets.
-CHEMISTRY:the science dealing with the composition of substances.

Many of the earth sciences, including:

-GEOLOGY:It is the science that studies the land.
-HYDROLOGY:He studies the movement and the distribution of the water in the Earth.
-METEOROLOGY: The study of Earth's weather patterns and other atmospheric phenomena.
-OCEANOGRAPHY:the study of the ocean.
-SOIL SCIENCE:the study of the pedosphere.

Nobel Prize on Physics 2007

The Frenchman Albert Fert and the German Peter Grünberg, Nobel prize of Physics for his discovery of the magneto - resistance Stockholm.The Frenchman Albert Fert and the German Peter Grünberg are the winners of the Nobel Prize on Physics 2007 for his discovery of the magneto - resistance, which has served to extract information of the hard disks of the computers, he communicated today the Royal(Real) Academy of Sciences of Sweden. The Nobel prize of Physics is endowed with 10 millions of co [Attention! Seul le début de votre texte a été traduit.] What´s this??

The greenhouse effect


The atmosphere is formed by steam of water and carbon dioxide, between other gases which are transparent to the radiaton of the Sun.Nevertheless, when this radiation is emitted of return from the soil towards the exterior in the shape of heat, it is reflected partly again towards the Earth by these gases.The atmosphere behaves as a crystal, which supports the heat in his interior and helps to stabilize during millionyears the everage temperature of the planet (15ºC). If the greenhouse effect didn´t exist, the temperature of the Earth to fall some 30ºC.

SILVER


The silver is a chemical element of atomic number 47 placed in the group 1b of the periodic table of the elements. His symbol is Ag. It is a metal of transition white, brilliant, soft, malleable and it is the best metallic driver of the heat and the electricity.
It is in the nature forming part of different minerals (usually in form of sulphide) or as free silver. It is very scanty in the nature of that represents one part in 10 millions of terrestrial bark. The most part of your production it is obtained as by-product of the treatment of the mines of cooper, zinc, plumb and gold. The metallurgy from his it minerals it is relized fundamentally by the cianuration.

biology and geology


The
biology is the science that he studies the alive(vivacious) beings. The alive(vivacious) beings estan formed(trained) for: the atoms (though these estan formed by electrons, neutrons and protons), the cells, the tissues, the organs and the organisms(organisations).The geology is the sciensie that he studies the rocks

DNA


The DNA is inside the nucleus of the cells of the organisms.The deoxyribonucleic acid is the primary component of the chromosomes and the material of which the genes are formed, essential to transmit the vital information of all the alive beings.

The DNA was discovered by Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and James Watson.These three scientists were rewarded by his discovery with the Nobel Prize on Medicine or Physiology in 1962.

A very organic lesson

Today our lesson is about organs and organ systems.

We already know that when cells work together to perform a particular job they form a tissue. Well, when two or more tissues associate to perform some function, we have an organ, and when different organs work together they form a system. Your task today is to get familiar with the different organs and systems of the human body. You may start by writing the name of the main organ systems on the worksheets I've handed out to you. Then look for information about their function and their main organs by clicking on the following links:

Some Biology topics to write about...

Hello everybody! Just in case you haven't decided what to write about, here you are some suggestions for your essays on Biology:


  • Humans are just one of the millions of living beings on Earth. Do you know what do all living things have in common? How can we classify them?

  • Perhaps you remember we left an unresolved question in one of our lessons: Which is the largest organ in the human body? Why not investigate the answer and tell us about it? Has it surprised you?

  • Still about size: Which is the largest and the smallest cell in the human body?

  • Is there any difference between animal and plant cells? (I can advance the answer to you: YES, THERE IS! Investigate about it)

  • The English scientist Robert Hooke was the first person who observed cells under the microscope, and he invented the word "cell". Find out about his life and career.

Of course these are only hints in case you need them. Any other topic you choose will be fine.

Chat in the blog!!!XD


- Hello Patry!! What do you think about the Bilingual Section?
- Hi, Andrea!!! The Bilingual Section is very difficult.
- What is the most difficult? Biology or Physics.
- Is much more difficult Physics, because I don’t understand.
- Ok. I like much the Biology, because I like nature and the human body.
- Good bye Andrea!!
- Good bye!!
My first impressions on the bilingual section:

I thought that this was is very difficult; but now I think it is much easy.
Thought my pronunciation is very bad I can understand well. The exercises was difficult but now the exercises is easy.

My first impressions on the bilingual section

I thought that this was very difficult. But now, I think what is more easy. Sometimes, I don’t understand everything my teacher says, but I learn new words every day. My teachers speak to me in English and I answer in English too. The exercises are in English and this is sometimes hard. I writing the truth, I don’t like science and I don’t like biology. But I hope that this experience makes me change my opinion.

Let´s get started

Science through English.English through Science. This is our goal.
Here is a group of 15 students of 3ºESO at the IES Fernando Esquío in Neda (A Coruña,Spain) who are being taught Biology and Physics following CLIL, that is to say, using English to do so. They are lucky to have science teachers who are willing and able to start this adventure, and this blog will try to be the screen where they can project their findings, their questions, their creations...
