PROCEDURE
The teacher will explain the different movements of the earth and the moon
(rotation and translation), the seasons, the moon phases and the eclipses.
a) Write the correct name for each moon phase: New Moon, Full Moon, Last
Quarter Moon and First Quarter Moon
b) Draw a diagram to show the relative position of the sun, the earth and the moon
in the next situations:
New Moon Full Moon
__ Seasons are a result of the distance between the sun and the moon.
__ When the sun's rays arrive perpendicularly to the earth, it is summer.
__ Winter happens because the sun is further away.
__ After summer when the rays are not perpendicular to the earth we are in autumn
(FALL in American English).
__ Temperature is higher when the rays are not perpendicular to the earth.
__ The inclination of the terrestrial axis is connected with the seasons.
e) Homework: Why is the moon bigger when you see it over the horizon than when
it is at the top of the sky? Try the experience watching the moon through a tube.
It's only an illusion.

MAMMALS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YSCLSFm2eA
Complete the sentences taken from the video “Mammals” (Discovery Channel)
TYPE OF MAMMALS
Monotremes are animals that lay eggs, such as a platypus. While they do produce
milk for their young, like all mammals do, the milk is secreted out of the skin on the
mother's chest (they do not have nipples). The platypus spends much of its time in
water so it has closable nostrils and tiny ear slits. Label the nostrils and ear slits. The
platypus has a blue-gray bill shaped like a duck. Label and color the bill. The fur of a
platypus is dark brown and they have webbed feet and a flat furry tail to help them
swim. Label and color the fur of the platypus and label the feet and tail. The male
has a poison spike on his hind ankle. Label the poison spike.
Marsupials are mammals that give birth to live young. These mammals have a
pouch where their young grow and develop. One of the biggest differences between
marsupials and placental mammals is that marsupials give birth quite early and rely
less on the nourishment of the placenta. The Red Kangaroo has large ears and short

arms with claws on the hands. Label these three features on the kangaroo. The soft,
woolly fur is usually blue-gray on females and often reddish-brown on males. Color
and label the reddish-brown fur. Females have a pouch in which the young live and
drink milk. Label the pouch. Kangaroos can jump great distances due to their long,
muscular tail and their powerful jumping legs. They also have 4 long toes on their feet.
Label the tail, jumping legs, and toes.
Placental mammals are mammals that give birth to fully developed live young.
They differ from marsupials in that the babies spend more time being nourished in-utero
by the placenta. These mammals are hairy and warm blooded as well. Some examples
are mice, rats, and bats.

On the rock surface we have found some footprints made on the mud of a lake 200
million years ago. The mud was compacted and transformed into the rocks we see
today.
There is a place in the following drawing in which there are many footprints together
surrounded by dinosaur bones with bite marks. A few meters south of these bones there
are others without bites.
Activities:
1.- Make some lines showing the different routes followed by each dinosaur.
2.- How many carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs left their footprints?
Carnivorous: …............................ herbivorous: ….............................
4.- Tell the whole story and guess which dinosaur ate the other one.

2. The water vapour in the air c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ into lots of tiny drops of water so small
that we cannot see them.
3. The tiny droplets bump into each other forming bigger drops that we can see as a
c____.
4. When the drops are big and heavy they fall as r _ _ _ , hail or s _ _ _ .

Making Rain

1. What we used.
2. What we did.
3. What happened.
The size of earth materials that can be moved by water depends on how fast the water is
moving. A fast-flowing stream can carry large rocks while a slow moving stream might
only be able to carry very small things like clay.
2nd. Read the next diagram and choose the right words to label the picture.
Arch cave stack stump retreating cliff
3rd. In your own words, can you explain the process that produced these coastal
landforms?
Somewhere out there, the sun is shining on a little puddle. That’s just part of something
we call the WATER CYCLE.
Water from the little puddle turns to gas – EVAPORATION
Gas forms into puffy clouds – CONDENSATION
The clouds get heavy and the rain pours down – PRECIPITATION- and we’re puddles
on the ground
Chorus:
Oh the water cycle, Round and Round
Vapor goes up and the rain comes down
Water in the sky, in the ocean, on the ground
It’s all in a cycle going round and round

MATERIALS
Beaker
Three different minerals
Some water
Lab scale
PROCEDURE 1
Weigh each mineral and write down the value in the table.
PROCEDURE 2
1.- Fill the beaker with a known amount of water and take note of the amount.
2.- Put each mineral into the water.
3.- Read the level now shown on the scale.
4.- Subtract one amount from the other.
5.- Take note of the mineral volumes in the table.
PROCEDURE 3
The density of a mineral will be the relation between its mass and its volume:
Metamorphic rocks
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have changed from one rock to another rock form,
because of the high temperature and pressure deep in the Earth's crust. Metamorphic
rocks often have layers or bands, like marble.
Sedimentary rocks
Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have formed from materials called sediments, which
are slowly deposited in some areas like oceans or lakes. Sediments accumulate forming
horizontal layers called strata. An example is limestone.
1) Match:
a) igneous rocks 1) rocks which change form because of heat and pressure.
b) plutonic rocks 2) igneous rocks which form on the surface of the Earth.
c) volcanic rocks 3) rocks made from magma
d) metamorphic rocks 4) igneous rocks which form inside the Earth's crust.
e) sedimentary rocks 5) rocks formed in layers called strata.
