FLL: Water Our Most Precious Treasure. How Can We Keep Plastic Out of Our Ocean.

Although it is still too early to make a decision, our FIRST LEGO LEAGUE team is considering the possibility of carrying out a project related to water pollution. We share two videos that we have used to reflect:

 on the importance of water,

and how to keep plastic out of the oceans.

Sweeper

To continue  our adventure with Lego our pupils regularly have lessons with bricks. Recently the 4^th graders have had to build a sweeper – a cart combined with a broom. To check if it works we spread out paper scraps on a table top. When we pushed the sweeper its blades opened out and spun. The table top was clean again.

University of Salamanca

The UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA is the oldest university in Spain...; and one of the oldest universities in the world. I was founded in 1218, so next year, it is turning 800 years old. 

To celebrate this important event, our students have watched this beautiful video...

Then, they have been thinking about how different the university was 800 years ago...

As a consequence. they decided to create a modern facade...

In the picture you can see a group of students working on their designs...

The LEARNING DESIGNER is an online lesson planning tool. It is free, you only have to register, which only takes a few minutes. It helps you to think about the learning expirences you are planning for your learners.

An Easy Way to Call Out Your Students

Sometimes, when you are teaching young learners is difficult to choose students to participate in class... because they all want to participate. Here is an easy way to choose them and knowing if you have already called them or not:

1- Each student write his or her name on a popsicle stick. 

2- Put all the sticks in a pencil holder. 

3- Pick a stick and read the name. 

4- You put that stick out of the pencil holder. In this way, you know that  the names of those students you have not called yet are inside the pencil holder.
