4-Syllabus+design

In this last theme we continued working on the same line of previous ones. The objetive was designing a complete unit, based not only on our Spanish curriculum but on the British one, as the units were meant to be created for a bilingual teaching of the science subject.

Paying attention to both curriculums was really important, so we could state good objectives and contents in agreement with law. One thing which made all the work a bit harder was that our unit is designed for students in 6th year, and finding enough activities for 50 minutes lessons is difficult, especially trying not to make boring lessons and connecting every single step.

Positive thing is that Internet provides a huge amount of resources, plus the ones that were given by our teacher, and we had a nice variety of them to develop different activities, most based on experiments (this is an important point: science is mostly about experimenting things, discovering...so every lesson must include activities that allow our students to participate, which makes them understand better what they are doing/studying).

Our topic was **Electricity and magnetism**. We created a pedagogy group Wiki for this theme, in which you can find all the resources that we used in the unit and that helped us deciding how to organize everything.

Another point to take into account, as we saw in other units, was giving the necessary importance to oral and written skills in each lesson, including the basic competences, relating with main theories, etc.

With all that in mind, this is the result of our work->

I´m going to add also the activity and evaluation sheets that we prepared for our students; these sheets are really useful for us as teachers (and for them) to check if they have understood everything correctly and allow them to register their conclussions after activities, experiments...
