Earth Science

Today was the first class after Easter, it is still all online due to circumstances. We have talked about the difficulties that we have had in our projects and that we continue to have or that we anticipate that we will have. In addition we have done through Acadly 3 surveys of 1 question each: - One related to Netflix - Another related to our group project - Another related to Instagram and project publications. Later Irene sent us homework to see the movie "Plastic Ocean"

In today's class we have had to present the rest of the class that our project will consist of. We have made a power point to make it much more visual.

Today we have also dedicated the class to the project. We have worked in groups and the whole class together and we have also organized the dates in which we are going to make the publications on instragram. Publications are an initiative with which the whole class has agreed to promote the project and that it has a greater scope. All projects deal with quite important and fundamental issues in society and for the planet in general.

Due to the circumstances of the quarantine caused by the Covid-19, our internship has been interrupted, so today we have had our first online class on this subject. Irene has left us the class to reorganize the project. In the case of my group it has been quite affected, so we have had to reorganize it as a whole. We have decided to carry out a project on plastic in supermarkets in Spain. Our previous idea was to carry out a project together with the university cafeteria to try to eliminate the amount of plastics used.

Today was the last day of class before our  internship. By groups, we have decided what material we needed to carry out some parts of our final project and of an exercise that we will carry out when we back. Then we have seen the water cycle and the formation of clouds.

Today in class, Irene has divided us into groups, with the aim that each group read and report on a different topic. The first group has explained why when it is dawn or dusk we see the sky in different colors. The second group has explained the different types of pollution that exist in the atmosphere. At the end of the class Irene has highlighted some important definitions: - Daily temperature range - Daily mean temperature - Monthly mean temperature - Annual mean temperature - Annual temperature range

Today we started the class reviewing the possible doubts we had when we did the test the day before. Then we have continued with the theme of the atmosphere. Today we saw the different layers it has: - Troposphere - Stratosphere - Mesosphere - Thermosphere The atmosphere has different layers due to different temperatures. Then we talk about the greenhouse effect, a process that occurs naturally and is important for the human species and all living things, because it provides us with oxygen.
