Scientific Culture

The course 2015-2016 the students of Scientific Culture in IES Matilde Salvador have applied the scientific method to the themes they have chosen in the curriculum and they have developed four works, as they show in their blogs:

THE HIGGS BOSON

BIOMEDICINE

GENETICS

EASTER EGGS

SCIENCE 2014 - 2015

The students of Science for Contemporary World in I.E.S. Matilde Salvador during the course 2014-2015, have used the Scientific Method in order to search the solution to an actual problem chosen by them. With this work they are participating in the VII Scientific Meeting El gusto de investigar in the University Jaume I in Castellon de la Plana, Spain. And they are finishing the eTwinning Project Scientific Blog in Social Media 2015 sharing scientific articles in Twinspace in blogs from High Schools in different countries and in Twitter with the hashtags #SBSM15#etwinning#scienced. This is the way they have made Science, they have shared results and they have enjoyed learning.

Scientific articles in Science for Contemporary World

This course 2013-2014, the students of Science for Contemporary World in 1st BAHA in Matilde Salvador Secondary School have applied the Scientific Method to the problems they chose of the contents of the subject: Science, the Universe, the Earth, the Life, Genetics, Health, Sustainability, Materials and Technology. With these research works they are participating in the competition "El gust d'investigar" in Jaume I University, and in two e-Twinning Projects: "eMagazine (not only) Across Europe" and "Scientific Blog in Social Media". These scientific articles show their results:
1st ARTICLE: LOVE SCIENCE
2nd ARTICLE: BLACK HOLES

3rd ARTICLE: THE MASS OF THE EARTH
4th ARTICLE: THE CRISIS IN THE LIFE
5th ARTICLE: GENETICS AND PREVENTION
6th ARTICLE: HEALTHY HABITS
7th ARTICLE: CLIMATE CHANGE
8th ARTICLE: MOBILE ADVANTAGES
9th ARTICLE: NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Science for Contemporary World and ICT

I'm Tula Albalat Martínez and I'm a teacher in Physics and Chemistry in High School in Spain. This course I'm teaching a new subject. This is Science for Contemporary World. And this is the reason why I started this blog. 

Since September, students are working in groups in different topics using the Scientific Method. They are participating in the competition El gust d'investigar, which is organized by the University Jaume I in Castellon, Spain. They are preparing a poster and a presentation in case they win in order to present their work in the University the 24th of June this year.

In April, they are going to write scientific articles about their work in the blog El Quadern de Sísif in the web of our High School IES Matilde Salvador. As well as they are going to write in the eMagazine (not only) Across Europe, which is an eTwinning Project with Fiorenza Congedo from Italy, Jūratė Baltutienė from Lithuania, Edita Klobučaer from Croatia and Dagmara Bajerlein from Poland.

In May, they are going to create a web with links to the blog of the High School, to this one, to the eMagazine and to videos in YouTube.

And in June, they are going to use Social Media to promote their work. This is the reason why I'm participating in the Learning Event eTwinning and Social Media. And I've learned to build my PLN (Personal or Professional Learning Network) in order to teach students how to build their own PLN.

Finally, students will be able to use the Scientific Method in order to ask themselves questions and find answers through experience. And what's more, they'll learn to use ICT in order to publish their results and share their knowledge. It's a bit difficult, but it's really interesting, because they are preparing themselves for real life.
