Estimadas familias: La situación que estamos viviendo nos ha brindado la posibilidad de abrirnos a nuevos retos para vosotros, como familia, y a nosotros como docentes. Intentaremos, de la mejor manera posible, pasar estos días en casa y llevar a cabo, por la parte que nos toca, la educación de nuestros alumn@s. ¡ÁNIMO!
FRIDAY June 12th: Solutions: 1.Nylon: raincoats, backpacks, clothes Plastic: pens, bags, toys Polystyrene: food trays, packaging and computer and TV casing.
2. It breaks down or decomposes naturally. Biodegradable: orange peel. It depends on the paper. Napkins will but magazines won’t. Batteries, plastic bag and glass won’t.
3.Look for the biodegradable symbol on the bags.
4.You can’t recycle ceramics, mirror glass or light bulbs. However, there are special recycling centres.

A NEW WORLD OF MATERIALS p.102
Nearly everything we use is made of materials
that have been created or modified by scientists and engineers to make
them perform better.
Man-made materials have transformed our everyday
life.
👉 Alloys
Mixing two or more elements, one of which must be a metal.
🎦 Watch the video
Brass,
for example, is an alloy of copper and zinc.
Copper
Zinc
Brass dining set
Steel (iron+coal) is one of the most commonly used alloys in everyday life.
Coal
Iron
Steel
👉 Improving your health
Surgeons can replace hip and knee joints with artificial joints made of a special ceramic materia.
A ceramic material is also used by dentists to repair teeth which have developed cavities.
👉New Materials in everyday life
Non-stick ceramic coating tolerates heat better, doesn’t peel off and doesn’t release harmful chemicals into the food we eat.
Polar fleece fabric is a
type of material that can be manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.
(Up to 150 pieces of clothing can be made from 3.700 large plastic
bottles).
👉Recent breakthrough
Concrete Cloth is a durable
and flexible waterproof building material made of cement sandwiched
between fabric.
It can be molded into any shape when wet and hardens on
contact with air. It is useful during natural disasters as it can be
used to make emergency shelters.

FORCES p.100
A force is a push or pull
that acts on an object.
🎦Watch the video
We can’t see forces, but we can see and feel their effects.
Forces can make
things move, stop, speed up, slow down, or change direction.
Molecules: moléculas Odour: olor Properties:propiedades, características States: estados (sólido, líquido, gaseoso) Volume:volumen (espacio que ocupa la materia) Mass: masa (cantidad de materia en un objeto) Density: densidad ( cantidad de masa en un determinado volumen) Hardness: dureza scratch-resistance: resistenica al rayado Solubility:solubilidad (capacidad de una sustancia para disolverse en otra) Dissolve: disolver solution:solución (resultado de una disolución) Thermal conductivity:conductividad del calor Conductors:concuctor (que deja pasar el calor) Insulators: aislante (que no deja pasar el calor)

INTRODUCTION p. 94
The Universe is made up of matter and energy and empty space.
Everything around us, living and non-living,
is made up of matter: plants, animals, books, tables, the food we eat
and the water we drink. Even the air we breathe is made up of matter.
Matter can’t be created or destroyed; it just
changes from one state or form to another.
How many states of matter
are there in the Universe?
🎦Watch the video to remember
Identify the states of matter in the picture of the Titanic.
👉Page 96
📓In your notebook:
1) Label the diagram with the information about the three states of matter using the words in the box.
2) Look at the photos below and identify the three states of matter. Some photos may show more than one.
👉 Page 97
Remember: Matter can’t be created or destroyed; it just
changes from one form to another. How?
