A little preview of the science fair. Back at school we did more research and developed our own projects with everything we learned, you won't believe what we were able to do!
In "Communicating Science", we had a very interesting conversation with a scientist who wrote a book for children: Gabriel Leon.
We had fun playing and discovering how our brains interpret images in the optical illusion modules.

Space and our world
We generated electricity and learned how a dynamo works in the electrical energy workshop.

These were the topics we chose

Trip to the interactive museum
An overview based on project-based learning

Communication and expression as a fundamental part of the learning and creation process.
Communicate
Putting into practice what we have learned and imagined. Is it possible? How do we achieve it?
Create
Imagination as the engine of scientific thinking. We investigate and imagine possibilities.
Imagine
Amazement and discovery as axes to understand the world we live in.

Objectives:
What did we expect from the trip?
We came up with and prepared the trip to the science museum as a team, as the culmination of our work this term in which, as you know, we mainly looked at these topics:
- The solar system and planet Earth
- Energy
- Light and images
The development of scientific thinking, the communication of our own findings, and teamwork have been present at every moment both during the visit and throughout the project. This newspaper was produced by the teachers and students of the 6th grade.
In each part of the museum we participated in a workshop and we knew that we should do a research or a project on the topic and share it after the trip.

The delicate balance of our planet
August 2022
+ info
Life as we know it needs very specific conditions to exist. The distance from the Earth to the sun is perfect for temperatures to be adequate, but that is not enough, in addition, the atmosphere and magnetic fields of our planet protect us from radiation and objects that could collide with us, all this is part of a very delicate balance.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed.
+ info
There are several types of energy. We humans transform some types of energy into others so that we can use them. We learned how to make electrical circuits with photovoltaic plates!

A world of wonders
August 2022
+ info
Mirrors, lights, holograms, kaleidoscopes, and perspectives. We walked on the ceiling, we shrank our classmates, we experienced headlessness, and much, much more. They explained to us that our eyes often see things that our brain cannot process and interprets them in the best way it can. This is how "trompe l'oeil" and optical illusions arise.

Entrevistas

"Kids are always the ones who ask the best scientific questions".
We met with a great scientist: Gabriel Leon, who is a biochemist and wrote a very funny and interesting book called: What are boogers? And other strange questions that I sometimes ask. With him we discovered that children are scientists by nature, because the basis of science are questions and observation. We learned a lot, we talked about the scientific method, we asked him questions such as "What is DNA?" or "Why do our fingers wrinkle in the bathtub?". Some of them he was able to answer, others we answered together, and others we left for further research. It was a motivating experience and we realized how important it is to know how to communicate what we do.

A little preview of our upcoming science fair
August 2022
We were looking for inspiring examples for our science fair and out of all of them we thought this one was the most amazing. You can find the article in the image on the left. Already inspired, we researched and divided into teams to develop our own projects and got down to work to present them at our science fair. These are some of the prototypes we are developing.
The challenge: Produce clean energy
Project: Science fair
