Stage 1: Collect the data. Stage 2: Organise the data. Stage 3: Use the data to create a bar graph.

CLIL / Science / Science Magnets

A. Work in groups of 4-5. Empty out your school bags and pockets and use the magnet to find out what items stick to it. B. Why do only some of the items stick to the magnet? Listen, read and find out. C. Look at the diagrams below and draw arrows to show what the magnets do. 1. 2.

You will need: a magnet

There are two answers: they stick to each other or they push away from each other.

This is because magnets have two different parts. They’ve got a magnetic north pole and a magnetic south pole. Two magnets with the same pole – two south poles or two north poles – push away from each other. They do not stick to each other. N Two magnets with different poles – one north and one south – stick to each other.

Rainbows

A. Look up the highlighted words in the text in a dictionary.

B. What do you know about rainbows? Why do rainbows appear after it rains? Listen, read and check your answers.  We can sometimes see rainbows when sunlight and raindrops come together. Sunlight is white light and actually has different colours in it. We don’t usually see them because when a beam of sunlight comes down to earth, the light is white. When there are raindrops in the air and the beam of sunlight hits them at a specific angle, the raindrops separate the white light into different colours. That is why we see a rainbow. We can see seven colours in a rainbow in this order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

C. Find the mistakes in the rainbow below.

CLIL / Science Plant life

What do plants need to grow?

Plants, like all living things, need water and food to live. Their roots take water from the soil, but the amazing thing about plants is that they can make their own food. They do this using light from the sun, which they collect through their leaves. Plant seeds start growing underground, away from the sun. They don’t need light, because they don’t have leaves and so they can’t make food from sunlight yet. They need water and air, which they find in the soil. Without air, most plants cannot grow. That’s why only a few special plants can grow underwater. Plants need light when they get bigger though, and this is why we keep them outside or near a window.

B. Look at the science experiments below. In each one, some beans are growing in a different environment. Can you guess how they will grow? Match the experiments to the results below.

Project Grow a bean plant! Put some water on a paper towel and put it in a dish. You will need: Then put the beans on the paper towel. Make sure you keep the paper towel wet. When your beans start to grow, put them in pots of soil. Grow them in your classroom!

Make sure the beans are raw - this means you can’t use cooked beans or beans from a can!
