SOCIAL SCIENCE UNIT 1 REVIEW

Como ya sabréis, el lunes tenemos el primer control de Social Science. Hoy hemos estado repasando en clase y se han llevado los libros para repasar en el fin de semana. Os dejo un pequeño resumen para que os resulte más fácil el repaso, y además podéis visitar las entradas anteriores.

• REVOLUTION: Is the movement of the planets around the Sun

• There are 8 planets in our Solar System: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. 

• The Earth takes 365 days (1 year) to complete its revolution around the Sun.

• The Earth is always rotating on its axis (gira sobre sí misma). It takes the Earth 24 hours to complete its rotation and this is why we have day and night.

• There are: 
•  24 hours in a day.
• 4 parts in a day (morning, afternoon, evening and night).
• 60 minutes in an hour.
• 4 seasons in a year.
• 12 months in a year.

Remember to look at the other two entries of the blog!

GOOD LUCK!

The phases of the moon

Hi everyone!

Seguimos con repaso de Social Science. Vamos a repasar las cuatro fases principales de la Luna. Here goes!

• PHASES OF THE MOON

The moon goes around the Earth. As it goes around, the Sun lights up the moon and it looks as if it is changing shape. These different shapes are called "the phases of the moon".

This is what we would see from space.

This is what we see from Earth.

New Moon: it looks almost completely dark!
First Quarter: we can see half of the Moon. It looks like a letter D.
Full Moon: we can see the whole Moon. It has a round shape.
Third Quarter: we can see half of the Moon. It looks like a letter D, but backwards!

Os dejo una imagen de una actividad que podéis hacer con galletas para ver cómo va cambiando la luna en sus diferentes fases:

Here is a lovely story about the Moon, by Eric Carle:

También hemos aprendido que mientras en un lado de la Tierra es de día, en el otro es de noche, y que cambia cada 24 horas porque es lo que tarda la Tierra en rotar sobre sí misma.

On the side of the Earth that faces the Sun it is day. On the other side it is night. We sleep at night and wake up in the day. It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis.

Here is a great video about day and night:
