SUGERENCIA-¿CÓMO ESTUDIAR EXÁMENES DE SCIENCE?+PRESENTACIONES REPASO

Hola a tod@s,

Os paso una SUGERENCIA, solo recomendación, de lo que creemos que sería la mejor manera de estudiar los exámenes...por supuesto hay muchas otras y perfectamente válidas...pero es solo una sugerencia, ahí va.

Cómo estudiar natural+social from JOSE_ESPEJO

I gave you out this morning a photocopy(you do not have to learn it...is only to help you understand...) with key vocabulary for Natural, but there are no presentations in power point...since I think this unit is not as "blurred" as the one in Social...

Therefore, I also attach three power point presentations which might help you to understand better and review the unit about the MIDDLE AGES...

ART IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Art in the middle ages. from JOSE_ESPEJO

AL-ANDALUS

The middle ages (al andalus) from JOSE_ESPEJO

CHRISTIANS-FEUDALISM-MEDIEVAL SOCIETY

christian kingdoms. middle ages YEAR 5 PRIMARY from JOSE_ESPEJO

ART IN THE MIDDLE AGES

Copy our LAST diagram...from now onwards you will have to create your own ones...try not to copy it as if you were robots...read, understand and try to write it in your own words...

RECONQUISTA

Find here a new type of diagram which includes time boxes and map. Copy it in your notebook. But READ IT AND UNDERSTAND IT!!! do not just copy it as if you were robots...
Do not worry about the maps, try to copy the ones in your textbook.

Reconquista timeline by centuries and map from JOSE_ESPEJO

CELLS-TISSUES-ORGANS-SYSTEMS-ORGANISMS

Find here the new type of diagram, in this case a table of contents, about how cells as the simplest structures group together forming tissues, then tissues form organs, organs work together to form systems and finally many systems performing differents functions will create different organisms.

Copy the table, don't worry about the drawings(they are just examples to help you understand)...try your best, but read it and understand it...do not just copy as "parrots" or "robots".

DÍA 3 JUEVES 21-5-15

Tercer día. Todo en orden y sin novedad. El tiempo mejor aún que ayer...y esto va tocando fin...pero aún nos queda la senda ecológica por el río Jarama y subir a la loma para ver la granja desde lo alto mañana...

De vuelta al cole saldremos a eso de las 14:15...así que según tráfico siendo viernes...pero calcular llegada a partir de las 15:00.

El día de hoy la cámara no ha funcionado todo lo que nos hubiera gustado...no hemos previsto por dos veces la batería...pero bueno ahí van algunas fotos de lo que hemos hecho..

El otro grupo también visitó el poblado Akha
