Hi, people! And welcome to (thankfully) my last post of the year
(my mug from England brought by one of my students some years ago and a home made muffin!)
As the test is going to be about the comparison between plants and humans...Have you seen this film???
There are some parts I don't agree with... you know the way I overanalise everything scientifically...
Well, getting down to business! I'm posting today some videos on Digestive system for you to start studying (We are just 2 DAYS AWAY from the integrative test!!!)
In the case of digestion, I will just test generalities
VIDEO 1
VIDEO 2
VIDEO 3
VIDEO 5: a great video on a general vision on DIGESTION
And last but not the least, Video 6, a funny video made by two students
Would you like to see the REAL effects of Hydrochloric acid (as the one in your stomach) on a McD's hamburger???
And last but not the least, my power point presentation
Hi, my beloved students!!! How are you doing? Me? I´m correcting like crazy!!!!
I
totally agree with the South Park guy, but as we teachers haven't been
able to invent a method of evaluating students without having to correct
and grade papers, I will have to face the truth and go on correcting
:(
Well, the title of my post is connected to a very famous song. Do you know what the lyrics are about?
Yes!! Food, diets, stereotypes and all the concepts we have been discussing in class lately.
Hi people!!!! I'm leaving you here the questionnaire for the ones who will visit the Fundación Instituto Leloir tonight. I'll be there at 20:00 in case you want to meet me. Take pictures of the historical objects you want to describe (3), of your favourite stand and of the talk you listen to.

Hi, people!!! I hope you're (not your) not relaxing and you're studying for NEXT THURSDAY'S TEST!!! I was watching a film called "Across the Universe" full of songs by the beatles and it ended like this:
As we discussed in our last classes, plants don't need to get their food, they can produce it!!! So, The Beatles were wrong when they say "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"!!! This is not correct about plants, all they need is SUNLIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE and WATER (and of course all our caring love!)
Remember that the process by which plants turn INORGANIC substances into ORGANIC ( means that the composition is CHO) ones is called Photosynthesis
And here you can see my friend Hank again:
I´m also posting my power point presentations (Thank you, Miss Andrea!!!) because it was not clear on your booklet
Hi, my plant creators!!! How did you spend this looong weekend? Hope you have relaxed and started preparing the summaries for the test on plants!!!
Have you seen my cacti in bloom??? (the real and the virtual one) It's impossible to be unhappy when you see this kind of magic...
Well, first of all I wanted to share with you two great links on what we have been discussing in class:
Hi people!! How are you? Did you sleep late today??
