CONSTRUCTION SITE

During our workshop lessons in Technology, we got to build a model of a construction site.  
We took care of the slab foundation, the electrowelded mesh (which the students welded with the soldering iron). Afterwards, we started building reinforced pillars as they are built in real life. The students used cement and mixed it with gravel and sand to create concrete. 
They constructed a frame from pieces of plywood and poured concrete inside the frame to let it harden for 24 hours.
It turned out like a real house! So we added the bricks to make the walls, stacking them with the help of the mortar (that we simulated with glue). Even a window frame seemed like a perfect idea to get our construction site done. 
And here you can check out the result. Notice the students' creativity (There's no limit to what they can do!).
Thanks everyone, it's been fantastic working with you on this project.

Dirty and victorius hands.
It's been a hard project!

Finished project with labels

That was creative!
Awesome graffiti and a job well done!

TECHNOLOGY WITH PEPPA PIG!


              The 1st E and 1st F students explained the properties of the materials by recording Peppa Pig's episodes.
 
      Below you can see two great examples. 

      Iratxe, Nicolt, Andrea, Elena and Nessi (1st E), went over the porous and impermeable materials.

      Claudia, Álvaro F., Jeremías, Juanjo and Ioana (1st F) worked on the conductors and insulators.    

      They did an awesome job.
 
              Check it out!

The asteroid "Apophis" is visiting us.

Something curious is happening:  the asteroid "Apophis" is passing Earth this month. They have taken 25 minutes of space telescope images (17 frames) and turned it into an animated GIF for your viewing pleasure

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


During the last week of the term, our students of the first year of E.S.O. made some Christmas trees using recycled paper in technology classroom. Their trees were beautiful, as you can see in the pictures below:





Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Centre of Gravity

Congratulations to Alejandro in 1F, who was the first student to find the centre of gravity of this structure, made from corks and toothpicks.
