Is The Flu Going Around In Phoeyetnix

6 th EXTINCTION MAP AND ENVIRONMENT

Look at the following photographs of the mural 3 º ESO Biology and Geology. It was to do a job schematic on "Causes and Consequences of the 6th Extinction":

also in English performed work on the environment, look at some pictures:

Look at the mural Aida made and the digital display for the subject of English:

3.JUSTIFICACIÓN (how comes the need for this activity):
In subjects like biology and geology and English of 3 º and 4 º ESO addressed content related to the environment, including some environmental problems facing us humans from our own use activities and resource use natural.
has decided to conduct a joint activity involves an analysis of the causes and consequences, or chain of effects, which are contributing to state that we are in the so-called "6th extinction". In addition, students will develop a mural individual or couple schematically explaining the causes and consequences of the 6 th Extinction or environmental issues in general.
This process of rapid and massive extinction of species is related to Global Warming, by all the different environmental problems associated with it. GLOBE
This activity is being studied as a set of content whose correct learning will be of great importance in understanding the environmental content from the point of view of environmental education, related to the knowledge of our environment locally, regionally and globally, and the importance of their care, prevention and protection.
The analysis of the so named "Sustainable Development" will also be an important part of this activity and environmental education that we seek, since it will think and analyze many aspects that characterize our everyday lifestyle.

classroom • Treatment of environmental issues and vocabulary in English.
• Treatment of English structures related to the topic. • It
written tests ask content related to the topic.
• Exhibition of murals in the Rincon EM-GLOBE.
• Exhibition of activities and photographs of the murals in the EM-GLOBE Blog.

7.Place OF REALIZATION (inside or outside the school):

EM-GLOBE, exposure of the activity and pictures of murals.

8.RECURSOS MATERIALS (those who need or would like to use):
• Photocopies of the relevant information of these environmental problems.
• Documentaries:
- "The 6th Extinction." Ed Very Interesting.
- "An Inconvenient Truth." Al Gore.

• Computer and projector for a presentation of the students.
• Internet links of interest:

9.Time ACTIVITY (the time available for teachers):
• Start date: April 7.
• End Date: June 18.
• Total Activity Time: All the 3 rd Assessment.

10.PREVISIÓN TRANSPORT:
not need transportation. ECONOMIC 11.PRESUPUESTO

:
the cost generated by the sheets and photocopies employees. Cardboard must buy
students.

12.CUALQUIER OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION:
is a GLOBE activity by the high degree of environmental education that entails, so a proper treatment of information can have huge benefits.
The video of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" has not been time to put it to the students due to the priorities of implementation and follow the curricula of these courses, not because the video was not part of the programming, but because required two class sessions that were not available.
more elaborate murals will be hung in the corner EM-GLOBE, although all will be photographed to be hung on the EM-GLOBE Blog.

Veet Wax Strips Pakistan

HERBAL

Look at the interim results which would be a sheet of a species from herbarium, in this case or Ababol Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) :

1.ORGANIZACIÓN (departments, tutors or teachers responsible collaborators):
• David Rosa Novalbos. GLOBE responsible. Professor of Natural Sciences.
• Jesus Luna Cepeda. GLOBE teacher. Professor of Religion, Bachelor in Biology and Geology. • M ª Carmen
Bango. Professor of Plastic and Visual Education.

2.DESTINATARIOS (courses and number of students):
All students of ESO (120 students). Everyone can contribute their work to the constant creation of the herbarium, from small learning how to use dichotomous keys, to the more "scientific" perfecting the use of these keys, even the most "manuals" such as students Diversification , etc.

Look practice 2 º ESO to determine the scientific name of the Poppy and learn to use a dichotomous key for plants, no less than the "Bonnie" :

See also the students of 4 º Diversification plasticizing pressed plant samples:

3.JUSTIFICACIÓN (how comes the need for this activity):
The Herbarium is a continuously growing resource that will enable the students get to know the plant species most representative of their environment, the ecosystem of Mediterranean forest and scrub.
data and samples should be achieved through the proper use, and with the utmost rigor and scientific precision, of different tools such as presses, dichotomous keys for plant commissioning.
The need to introduce in the GLOBE Data Server Protocol Vegetation Cover in our area of \u200b\u200bstudy requires the output to the immediate environment for training in knowledge and recognition of species through the collection of samples for processing and creation of the herbarium.
The interest of this resource not only for students training in the use of tools and expertise of the Science of Nature, but also has an educational interest in environmental education and knowledge of their environment will recognize its value, protect and respect it.

4.OBJETIVOS (those who want to achieve with this activity):
• Building a "herbarium" accurate data.
• Collect plant samples in a controlled manner.
• Properly treat the plant samples for proper conservación.
•Reconocer la importancia del rigor científico y del manejo del “Cuaderno de Campo”.
•Fotografiar las especies vegetales como forma respetuosa de llevarse una parte de ella.
•Utilizar Claves dicotómicas de árboles y plantas para su determinación y clasificación.
•Reconocer la importancia del respeto a las especies por medio de una recolección controlada.
•Seguir pautas de trabajo en equipo de responsabilidad y participación.

Todos estos objetivos se pueden alcanzar (y se han alcanzado) mediante un entrenamiento lento y continuo, que encuentra su recompensa en la Salida GLOBE de Protocolo de Cobertura Vegetal. Remember the pictures:

not need transportation. ECONOMIC 11.PRESUPUESTO

:
• 4 metal presses: 200 €.

12.CUALQUIER OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION:
GLOBE is an activity that would be interesting as to reach make all students at the school in subsequent years. It is also a resource that, properly done, would remain forever at the center and could be used with all students of the Centre.
should also be applied to elementary and primary students of those contents and procedures adapted to the age classes and that teachers of these steps it deems appropriate and adequate.
The expansion of the herbarium with other plant species (not native, garden, etc..) Is another possibility after having collected representative samples of the most important of our forest and Mediterranean scrub.
