Microscopes! / ¡Microscopios!
Microscopes!
At the end of January, 5th grade students had two lessons on microscopes during their Integrated Learning class.
In the first lesson, they learned what a microscope is, its parts and uses, and finished by illustrating and labelling its parts in their Scientific Knowledge and Thinking notebooks.
In the second lesson, they made a microscope using us a magnifying glass and recycled materials. It was very satisfying to see how motivated and excited they were about their microscopes.
All the microscopes they made were displayed at the school for a few days, and it was very gratifying to see how students from other grades were surprised when they looked through them and saw that they worked.
¡Microscopios!
A finales del mes de enero, los alumnos de 5° Grado, durante la clase de “Integrated Learning” tuvieron dos sesiones sobre el microscopio.
En la primera, aprendieron lo qué es un microscopio, sus partes y sus usos, para finalizar ilustrándolo y etiquetando sus partes en el cuaderno de Saberes y Pensamiento Científico.
En la segunda clase, elaboraron un microscopio con una lupa y materiales reciclados. Fue muy satisfactorio ver lo motivados y emocionados que estaban por sus microscopios.
Todos los microscopios elaborados se expusieron durante algunos días en el colegio y alumnos y alumnas de otros grados quedaban muy sorprendidos al mirar a través de estos y comprobar que funcionaban.
