  HOWDY! Summer holidays are arriving at the end and a new uncertain school year is at the door. We are all a bit worried for the current situation. We are specially concerned with how our teaching is going to be: in-person, virtual, hybrid? This is really important because it is our job; but, please, don't forget to keep having a healthy lifestyle. Keep reading. I have some tips for you. STAY POSITIVE More than never we need to stay positive. Remember that our thoughts are powerful and can have affect our health. EAT REAL FOOD, NOT PRODUCTS As Hypocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine". We all know that to be healthy, we have to eat the appropriate food. Choosing how we are going to feed our bodies makes an impact on how we are going to feel later. In the book " Paleovida " by Carlos Pérez , I read "Eat real food, not products". What does he mean? It means that we should eat fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, not manufactured or at least the l...

  Hey! What are you up to? I hope your are making the most of your holidays. Today I would like to talk about the importance of observation. Our kids are surrounded by a world full of stimuli. Plus, we are in a world which seems to be in fast motion. Science lessons are a good opportunity to slow down since many Science activities need patience to be fulfilled. Observation requires concentration on the animal, plant, rock, ... to be observed. However, we have to make sure that our students know how to observe properly. Therefore, we should offer them some guiding, which may vary depending on what they are observing. A couple of school years  ago I prepared the template belows. They are for observing animals. They are available for FREE in English, Spanish and Catalan in my TpT Store. If you click on the images, you will be directed to my TpT store and you will be avaible to download them.                       

MORNING!!! ☼ I have been absent for a while because I have taken some days off to enjoy the sea, travelling a little bit and catching up with some friends and family. But I'm back full of energy and willing to share with you a lot of new ideas. Some weeks ago I created some flashcards for my Science lessons. These flashcards are about "The Scientic Method" . In my Science lessons I encourage my students to discover the Science contents they are learning doing experiments and applying the Scientific Method . Why using the Scientific Method in your Science lessons? Keep reading!  1. Experiments make all students ask themselves questions about a situation, a problem... 2. Experiments make students think hypothesis and elicit what can happen if they do one action or another. 3. Experiments are a good chance to teach students it is fine to make a wrong hypothesis and that we can learn from mistakes. 4. Experiments -if done in small groups-can encourage discussion 5. After do...
