2 ESO- WHAT IS THE BEST ENERGY SOURCE FOR SORIA?

WHAT IS THE BEST ENERGY SOURCE FOR SORIA?

After studying different sources of energy in Natural Science classes in the Virgen del Espino Highschool, students were asked to create presentations about which energy source they would prefer to use in Soria. 

The students worked individually and in groups of two to three to create the presentations. 

So go ahead and check them out and take a moment to think to yourself  “Hmmm, what energy source would I choose?”

2ºESO- Weathering experiments

Lab experiments related to the unit of Geology: External Dynamics of the Earth. We will compare between chemical and mechanical weathering

Open publication - Free publishing - More experiment

Some of this material was taken from Illinois State Museum Geology Online – http://geologyonline.museum.state.il.us

Some pictures of the experiments

Comparing the effect of hydrochloridic acid on limestone with  tap water.

Comparing the effect of carbonated water versus tap water on gypsum.

Lab equipment

Welcome

Welcome to the Natural Science blog.

Either if you are a teacher or a student we hope you could find all the information you are looking for.
This blog is part of the British programme that takes place in the Secondary School Virgen del Espino in Soria (Spain). In this programme some subjects are taught in English whereas others will be in Spanish. Natural Science is one of the subjects that are taught exclusively in English.

In this blog we pretend to upload information useful for the students of all the different year of compulsary education (Educación Secundaria Obligatoria).

If you want to make any comment feel free to do it.
