In the first term we did a unit called "Technology and Society", in which we worked and learned about how technology has affected our society. We did many projects and we used lots of different TIC tools, like Glogster, Padlet, Google Drive, and many others. We also did many tasks, like the oral presentations about the different types of pollution, and the project about the water filter.
In the second term, we did the unit about Plastics. In this unit, we also did many projects and many activities. For example, we did an activity that consisted of going round our high school and searching plastics on the floor, and then classifying them. We also did a natural chewing gum, with no artificial products, and we also created a web page about plastics. We used many TIC tools, like Google Sites, Google Maps ad Toondoo.
And in the last term, we did two units, one about Eectricity and the other about Energies. In this term we worked mainly in the workshop, because we had to make a project with LEDs, LDRs, transistor and resistances, and it was not easy. We also did activities about the magnitudes of electricity, like power, voltage and resistance, and we also did an activity to learn how an electricity bill worked. In the unit about energies, we did a project that consisted of building a sun oven. We also did an activity with Scratch, in which we learned a lot about the different kinds of energy sources, the renewables and the non-renewables, and their advantage and disadvantages.
In my opinion, this subject has been one of the most interesting that I have done during this year. Not only because we've done lots of things, also because we did many practical projects, that we had to build them ourselves, and I think this part of the subject is the most useful for ourselves. Another thing I've liked is that we had to do many activities in group, so we socialized more and we learned how to work in a group, sharing different opinions and hearing and learning from the others. As it's said, "teamwork makes dream work". The thing I liked most was the project about electricity, the one with the LEDs and LDRs, transistors and resistances. It was the most difficult I've done this year, but it was very interesting to learn and make a project with these components. I think all these things will be very useful for the following years in school and for the rest of our lives. Because we've done many ecological projects and activities, and we've learned how to protect our planet. We've also done many things that can help us on a daily problem, like fixing a broken electrical circuit and things like that. I've also learned how to work with many new TIC tools, that can be useful for the following years for presenting projects or doing them. I really recommend this subject, because we do many practical projects and we learn lots of useful things. I've enjoyed it so much!
