VENUS OF WILLENDORF

The Venus of Willendorf is 11.1 cm tall. It is believed to have been carved during the European Upper Paleolithic, or "Old Stone Age", a period of prehistory starting around 30,000 BCE. It was found on August 7, 1908 by a workman named Johann Veran during excavations at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria. It is carved from an oolitic limestone that is not local to the area, and tinted with red ochre. The figurine is now in the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

PHASES OF THE MOON

The moon is about four times smaller than the Earth. It rotates on its axis and revolutes around the Earth. It takes around 28 days to complete one revolution and the same time to complete one rotation. This is why we (from the Earth) do not see always the same side of the Moon.  Here you have some easy pictures to learn the names of the different phases.

NEW MOON: we do not see the moon.

WAXING CRESCENT: We see only a very small fraction of the Moon.

QUARTER MOON: The moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around the Earth. Half of the Moon is seen.

WAXING GIBBOUS: We see more than half moon and less than full Moon.

FULL MOON: The whole of the disk of the Moon is illuminated.

WANING GIBBOUS: After full Moon and before seeing half of the Moon.

LAST QUARTER: Only one quarter of the Moon's orbit is to be completed. Half of the Moon is visible.

WANING CRESCENT: The illuminated part of the Moon decreases from the lit up semicircle, then, little by little it will disappear completely.

FULL MOON: The entire face of the Moon is illuminated.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM

Electricity and magnetism are two different phenomena present in our planet. Electricity is the flow of charged particles and magnetism is the force of attraction or repulsion between objects.

Explaning students how forces attract or repel.

The Earh's molten iron core acts like a huge magnet. Magnets and compasses always point to the magnetic North Pole.

 Explaining how the magnetic filed acts surrounding the Earth.

The magnetic field around the Earth acts like a huge shield that changes direction of cosmic rays and protects our atmosphere.

Archimedes ( 287BCE - 212 BCE) was a mathematician who lived in Syracuse on the island of Sicily. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer, so Archimedes continued in the family line.He  was the most famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes discovered the relation between the surface and volume of a sphere and its circumscribing cylinder, known as Archimedes' principle.

VERBOS IRREGULARES Y DEFECTIVOS

Cuando un verbo  se conjuga podemos saber si es regular o irregular. Si no cambian  ni la raíz ni  las desinencias es regular, si alguna de ella cambia, o ambas, es irregular.

Para saber  si es irregular, lo conjugaremos en presente, pretérito perfecto simple  y futuro simple.

ENGRAVING

Engraving is a technique which consists on incising a design onto a hard surface by cutting grooves into it with a burin. The result may be a printing image on paper; this image is called "engraving". Engraving is one of the oldest and most important techniques in printmaking.

                        

Here we can see some of the desings the students curved on foam.

After incising their designs, our students rolled the paint on the foams and prepared to print them on their papers.
