Magnetism and gravity

Last week, the sixth grade children magnetized a clip and proved that, sometimes, magnetism can be stronger than gravity! Furthermore, we created a handmade compass with a cork and a magnetized needle floating in water. Here you can see how we did it.  It is amusing to join theory and practice!

ENGLISH WEEK

5th Grade - ST. PATRICK'S DAY

This Sunday, March 17th, Irish people celebrate St Patrick's Day, the patron saint of Ireland. It's widely celebrated around the world, especially in Ireland and the US; in Chicago they even dye the river green! Typical food eaten in St Patrick's Day is corned beef and cabbage. 

One of the traditions for St Patrick's day is to make wishes. Leprechauns are the fairies who grant those wishes. The legend says that if you catch a Leprechaun in the forest, it has to tell you where he hides the pot of gold so that you can make a wish. If the Leprechaun escapes, so does your chance at having the treasure at making a wish!

Happy St Patrick's Day!!

GREEKS GODS AND GODDESEES

Good Morning!

During this last quarter in Pàlcam, we will work with our third-year students on History in Science classes. They love it and us too! We worked the middle ages and had to draw a god or a Greek goddesees. They are all artists!

See you soon :)

How do magnets work?

Hello everybody! Do you know that magnets attract and repel other magnets depending on the charge of their poles? The sixth grade children checked it through making different constructions with bar magnets and metal balls. Moreover, we also proved if they attract objects that are in our daily life such as pencils or sharpeners. Furthermore, we tested if magnets attract iron filings and brass filings; and... What do you think? You have the answer in these images! Furthermore, we did an electromagnetic experiment with a circuit and a compass. It is fun to learn about matter through doing these kind of experiments!
