How It's Made

"How It's Made" is a documentary television series. It shows how common, everyday items (including foodstuffs like bubblegum, industrial products such as engines, musical instruments such as guitars, and sporting goods such as snowboards) are manufactured.

There is a Youtube channel about it. We strongly recommend you to visit it and watch as many videos as you can. You will learn a lot of things about technology and your vocabulary will become wider.

Ghost Stories

 

To get the students into the Halloween spirit, we shared stories about nothing other than Spirits. Some of these tales left the students with questions. Some they couldn't believe.

But here is one story that left a chill in the room...

The Story of the Photos from the Forest 

During one long weekend, three friends decided to go camping in the forest that was about an hour drive from their town. They had this spot in the woods where they loved to sleep because it was quiet and calm, away from other people. They went camping for four days and three nights. Each day, they went hiking and relaxed in the shade, and at night, they slept in a cozy tent. One of the friends had brought an old film camera for them to take photos of the nature they saw, and after she returned from the trip with her friends, she had the roll of film developed.

Flipping through  the photos, she saw lovely pictures of the countryside and of her smiling friends, but then she came across a photo that made chills run down her spine. There was a picture of her sleeping, but it couldn't have been taken by one of her friends because they were also in the picture, asleep beside her.

Turning through the pictures more hurriedly, the girl found three mysterious photos, one taken from each night that the friends had camped in the woods. Each showed the three of them sleeping.

Who had taken these photos? How could anyone have done so without waking them? And why? Why take three photos of three sleeping friends? 

Experiments about density

Some students  of I2A have done, at home,  an experiment about density. They have studied what happens when some objects are immersed in water: 

Coke experiment:

A) Normal coke sinks

B) Zero coke floats between water and normal coke.

Conclusions --> Normal coke is denser than water because it has sugar. Zero coke doesn't have sugar, so it is less dense than normal coke.

Rainbow experiment:

A) Honey is at the bottom of all liquids; syrup is on top of honey; water is on top of syrup; sunflower oil is under olive oil; olive oil is under alcohol; alcohol is on top of all liquids.

B) They have their own densities and it doesn´t matter the order to add the liquids into the recipient.

Conclusions --> Alcohol is on top because it has the lowest density; honey is at the bottom because it has the highest density; syrup is under water because it is denser; olive oil is on top of water because it is less dense.
