"Kid-pix" activity

Here's an image about a forest and some animals. The purpose consists in identify and recognize the animal's names in English using the new technologies resources.

According with the curriculum, our aim is to promote a positive attitude towards other languages and to promote interest on learning them.

The activity, due its visuality, is thought to be carried in the initial courses. It permits the use of easy vocabulary. Therefore, the activity cosists in learning the names of those animals shown in the picture, in pronuciating well and trying to make a short description (like colour,...) with the purpose to improve pronunciation and agility using other languages.

Solar oven

To build a solar oven, you need:

- A shoebox
- Aluminium foil
- Card
- Scissors
- A pair of sticks
- A piece of cheese (or other food)

Next, follow the instructions shown on the picture

The following video shows how a solar oven works. Glass windows provide passive solar heating. Sunlight passes through the glass and is absorbed by surfaces and becomes heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation. This is reflected back to the food. Solar collectors use mirrors (aluminium foil) to focus the Sun’s rays onto a small area. In some parts of the world, this idea is used to make simple solar ovens to cook food without using fuel. More complex solar collectors use curved mirrors to reflect the Sun’s rays onto a focus point.
