X. Read the fable and answer the questions.

The Boy Who Cried Wolf


The Aesop's story

By Locks Bob Hartman


There once was a shepherd boy who was
bored as he sat on the hillside watching the
village sheep. To amuse himself he took a
great breath and sang out, Wolf! Wolf! The
Wolf is chasing the sheep!

The villagers came running up the hill to help


the boy drive the wolf away. But when they
arrived at the top of the hill; they found no wolf.
The boy laughed at the sight of their angry
faces. "Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the
villagers, " when there's no wolf!"

They went grumbling back down the hill.


Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The
wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty
delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill
to help him drive the wolf away.
When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly
said, "Save your frightened song for when
there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf'
when there is NO wolf!" But the boy just
grinned and watched them go grumbling down
the hill once more.

24

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling


about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his
feet and sang out as loudly as he could,
Wolf! Wolf! But the villagers thought he
was trying to fool them again; and so
they didnt come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the


shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village
with their sheep. They went up the hill to find
the boy. They found him weeping.
"There really was a wolf here! The flock has
scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you

come?"
An old man tried to comfort the boy as they
walked back to the village.

We'll help you look for the lost sheep in


the morning," he said, putting his arm
around the youth, "Nobody believes a
liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

XIV. Story Big Book

Materials Needed: Card stock, white paper, yarn, whole puncher, roll paper, markers &
ribbon.
Objective: To create a folding story Big book.
Begin to use a variety of resources (picture dictionaries, the Internet, books) and strategies
to gather information to write about a topic.
Use appropriate end punctuation (period and question mark) and correct capitalization of
initial words and common proper nouns (e.g., personal names, months)
Select a short story or create your own. Once you have selected your story, you can begin
creating the books.
For folding story books:
Use the card stock as the cover.
Place several sheets of paper between two sheets of card stock. (Be sure to hole punch
only one side of the card stock as it will be the cover.) If vertical, two holes punch the top
and the bottom. If horizontal, three whole punch the top and the bottom.
Take three inch pieces of yarn and begin tying the paper together. It will look like a Jacob's
Ladder.
Write your stories down and draw pictures if you wish. When completed, the book should
be folded up like a Jacob's Ladder.
For scroll books: Take a long piece of roll paper and write your stories and draw your
illustrations on it. Then roll it up and tie a ribbon around the scroll. You can inscroll the
story as you read it out loud.

SPEECH REGISTER
Speech register refers to different language styles called register, which are varied
according to the topic under discussion, the formality of the occasion and the medium
used (speech, writing or sign).
The appropriate language register depends upon

1. Static Register. It rarely or never changes. Frozen in time and content, e.g. the

Pledge of Allegiance, the Lords Prayer and the Preamble of the US Constitution.
2. Formal Register. It is used in formal settings and is one way in nature. It is
usually impersonal and formal. E.g. speeches, sermons, rhetorical statements and
questions, pronouncements made by judges.
3. Consultative Register. Standard form of communication. Professional discourse.
E.g. when strangers meet, communication between superior and a subordinate,
doctor and patient, lawyer and client, lawyer and judge, teacher and student and,
counselor and client.
4. Casual Register. Informal language used by peers and friends. Slang, vulgarities
and colloquialisms are normal. E.g. buddies, teammate, chats, e-mails, blogs and
letters.
5. Intimate Register. Communication is private. It is reserved for close family
members or intimate people: husband-wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, siblings,
parent and children.

pictures and write on the line what kind of register they are using in that context.

VI. Read the following paragraph and complete the chart.


LUNGS
The lungs is the major organ that provides oxygen exchange. The lungs contain tiny bronquiol
alveoli, which is the site for absorption of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide. The
oxygenated blood is then sent back to the heart to provide tissue with the necessary oxygen.
The lungs also contain cilia that push foreign objects out of the lungs. This leads to coughing to
keep the lungs clear from bacteria, dirt and smoke. Smoking causes cells to die making it
difficult for lungs to clear.

VII. Read carefully and complete the graphic organizer below with the
respiratory process.
A Look Inside the Lungs

68

From the outside, lungs are pink and a bit squishy, like a sponge. But the inside contains the
real lowdown on the lungs! At the bottom of the trachea (say: tray-kee-uh), or windpipe, there
are two large tubes. These tubes are called the main stem bronchi (say: brong-kye), and one
heads left into the left lung, while the other heads right into the right lung.
Each main stem bronchus (say: brong-kuss) the name for just one of the bronchi then
branches off into tubes, or bronchi, that get smaller and even smaller still, like branches on a big
tree. The tiniest tubes are called bronchioles (say: brong-kee-oles), and there are about
30,000 of them in each lung. Each bronchiole is about the same thickness as a hair.

At the end of each bronchiole is a special area that leads into clumps of teeny tiny air sacs called
alveoli (say: al-vee-oh-lie). There are about 600 million alveoli in your lungs and if you
stretched them out, they would cover an entire tennis court. Now that's a load of alveoli! Each
alveolus (say: al-vee-oh-luss) what we call just one of the alveoli has a mesh-like
covering of very small blood vessels called capillaries (say: cap-ill-er-ees). These capillaries
are so tiny that the cells in your blood need to line up single file just to march through them.

69

All About Inhaling


When you're walking your dog, cleaning your room, or spiking a volleyball, you probably don't
think about inhaling (breathing in) you've got other things on your mind! But every time you
inhale air, dozens of body parts work together to help get that air in there without you ever
thinking about it.

As you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts and flattens out. This allows it
to move down, so your lungs have more room to grow larger as they fill up
with air. "Move over, diaphragm, I'm filling up!" is what your lungs would
say. And the diaphragm isn't the only part that gives your lungs the room
they need. Your rib muscles also lift the ribs up and outward to give the
lungs more space.

At the same time, you inhale air through your mouth and nose, and the air
heads down your trachea, or windpipe. On the way down the windpipe, tiny
hairs called cilia (say: sill-ee-uh) move gently to keep mucus and dirt out
of the lungs. The air then goes through the series of branches in your lungs, through the bronchi
and the bronchioles.

Thank You, Alveoli!


The air finally ends up in the 600 million alveoli. As these millions of alveoli fill up with air, the
lungs get bigger. Remember that experiment where you felt your lungs get larger? Well, you
were really feeling the power of those awesome alveoli!

It's the alveoli that allow oxygen from the air to pass into your blood. All the cells in the body
need oxygen every minute of the day. Oxygen passes through the walls of each alveolus into the
tiny capillaries that surround it. The oxygen enters the blood in the tiny capillaries, hitching a
ride on red blood cells and traveling through layers of blood vessels to the heart. The heart then
sends the oxygenated (filled with oxygen) blood out to all the cells in the body.

70

Waiting to Exhale
When it's time to exhale (breathe out), everything happens in reverse: Now it's the diaphragm's
turn to say, "Move it!" Your diaphragm relaxes and moves up, pushing air out of the lungs. Your
rib muscles become relaxed, and your ribs move in again, creating a smaller space in your chest.

By now your cells have used the oxygen they need, and your blood is carrying carbon dioxide
and other wastes that must leave your body. The blood comes back through the capillaries and
the wastes enter the alveoli. Then you breathe them out in the reverse order of how they came
in the air goes through the bronchioles, out the bronchi, out the trachea, and finally out
through your mouth and nose.

The air that you breathe out not only contains wastes and carbon dioxide, but it's warm, too! As
air travels through your body, it picks up heat along the way. You can feel this heat by putting
your hand in front of your mouth or nose as you breathe out. What is the temperature of the air
that comes out of your mouth or nose?

With all this movement, you might be wondering why things don't get stuck as the lungs fill and
empty! Luckily, your lungs are covered by two really slick special layers called pleural (say:
ploo-ral) membranes. These membranes are separated by a fluid that allows them to slide
around easily while you inhale and exhale.

71

IX. Read the text carefully and answer the questions.


Time for Talk
Your lungs are important for breathing . . . and also for talking!
Above the trachea (windpipe) is the larynx (say: lair-inks), which
is sometimes called the voice box. Across the voice box are two
tiny ridges called vocal cords, which open and close to make
sounds. When you exhale air from the lungs, it comes through the
trachea and larynx and reaches the vocal cords. If the vocal cords
are closed and the air flows between them, the vocal cords vibrate and a sound is made.

The amount of air you blow out from your lungs determines how loud a sound will be and how
long you can make the sound. Try inhaling very deeply and saying the names of all the kids in
your class how far can you get without taking the next breath? The next time you're outside,
try shouting and see what happens shouting requires lots of air, so you'll need to breathe in
more frequently than you would if you were only saying the words.

Experiment with different sounds and the air it takes to make them when you giggle, you let
out your breath in short bits, but when you burp, you let swallowed air in your stomach out in
one long one! When you hiccup, it's because the diaphragm moves in a funny way that causes
you to breathe in air suddenly, and that air hits your vocal cords when you're not ready.

Love Your Lungs


Your lungs are amazing. They allow you to breathe, talk to your friend, shout at a game, sing,
laugh, cry, and more!

And speaking of a game, your lungs even work with your brain to help you inhale and exhale a
larger amount of air at a more rapid rate when you're running a mile all without you even
thinking about it once.

Keeping your lungs looking and feeling healthy is a smart idea, and the best way to keep your
lungs pink and healthy is not to smoke.
73

Smoking
Smoking isn't good for any part of your body, and your
lungs especially hate it.

Cigarette smoke damages the cilia in the trachea


so they can no longer move to keep dirt and
other substances out of the lungs. Your alveoli get
hurt too, because the chemicals in cigarette
smoke can cause the walls of the delicate alveoli
to break down, making it much harder to breathe.
Finally, cigarette smoke can damage the cells of the lungs so much that the healthy
cells go away, only to be replaced by cancer cells. Lungs are normally tough and
strong, but when it comes to cigarettes, they can be hurt easily and it's often very
difficult or impossible to make them better. If you need to work with chemicals in an
art or shop class, be sure to wear a protective mask to keep chemical fumes from
entering your lungs.
You can also show your love for your lungs by exercising! Exercise is good for every
part of your body, and especially for your lungs and heart. When you take part in
vigorous exercise (like biking, running, or swimming, for example), your lungs require
more air to give your cells the extra oxygen they need. As you breathe more deeply
and take in more air, your lungs become stronger and better at supplying your body
with the air it needs to succeed. Keep your lungs healthy and they will thank you for
life!

XVII. Read the text and do a C-MAP.
Have you ever looked at the sky and thought about whether there are other people living
out there? Well, according to those scientists who study these things, there are no other
people, animals or plants like us out there in our solar system, because no other planet has
air like ours.
Why do we need air? Because we could not survive without the oxygen in the air that we
breathe. We could not take in the oxygen if we didn't have lungs.

What are lungs?

You have two lungs, which together form one of the


largest organs in your body.
The lung on the left is a bit smaller than the lung on the
right because it has to make room for your heart to fit in
your chest too. They need to be close together because
they work together.
Your rib cage goes around your lungs and heart to protect
them from damage. Your ribs also move when you breathe
in and out.

81

Below your lungs is the diaphragm (say dye-a-fram). This is a big muscle that works with
your lungs to get air in (inhale) and out (exhale).
You can feel how they work together.
1.

Put one hand on your chest and the other on the upper part of your tummy.

2. Now breathe in deeply. You will feel your chest and your tummy get bigger as the air
goes into your lungs.
3. When the diaphragm contracts (gets tighter) it pushes some of the organs in your
tummy down so that there is more space in your chest.

What lungs look like


Here is a diagram of the lungs.
If you could see them, they would look
pink and rubbery on the outside. Inside
they look a lot like sponges. Air comes
down the trachea (say trak-ee-a), or
windpipe, into two large tubes called the
bronchi (say bron-key). One bronchus (say
bron-kuss) goes into the left lung and the
other into the right.
Each bronchus is rather like the trunk of a
tree because it has what look like
branches and twigs growing from it. The smallest 'twigs' are called bronchioles (say bronkey-oles). They are so tiny that they are like hairs.
At the end of these bronchioles there are little bunches of alveoli (say al-vee-o-lie).
These are sacs, or little bags, full of air. There are about 600 million of them in your
lungs, so you can imagine how very tiny they must be and what a powerful microscope you
would need to look at them!
Each tiny alveolus (that's the name for one of them) is covered in even tinier blood
vessels called capillaries (say ca-pill-a-riz).
Each part of your lungs has an important role to play.
82

Breathing in
When you inhale, or breathe in, the air goes in through your nose or mouth. Little hairs
called cilia (say silly-a) inside your nostrils catch tiny particles of dust. If they don't
catch all of them, there are more cilia and mucus inside your trachea, which trap the dust
and stop it from getting into your lungs.
Your diaphragm flattens out (contracts), your ribcage lifts and the air goes through all
the little branches in your lungs to fill up the air sacs, or alveoli.
Oxygen goes through the walls of the alveoli and into the capillaries where the oxygen
enters the red blood cells in all the tiny blood vessels, which then carry the blood
towards the heart. The heart pumps all the oxygen-carrying blood to every cell in the
body.

Breathing out
As each red blood cell empties its load of
oxygen, it picks up carbon dioxide (say car-bon
dye-ox-eyed) from the cells and heads back to
the lungs.
The carbon dioxide is carried by the red blood
cells in the lungs' capillaries to the alveoli, where
it is emptied into the air that leaves the body
when you breathe out.
For you to exhale, or breathe out, the diaphragm
relaxes, muscles between the ribs relax and air
is pushed out of the lungs.
This air then goes up through all the bronchioles,
up the bronchi, up the trachea and out through
the nose or mouth.

83

Look after your lungs


1 Don't smoke and keep away from others who smoke. Lungs do not like cigarette smoke - it
can damage them, and cause disease and even death.

Stay out of the workshop if someone is using chemicals, as some can damage your lungs.
Remind mum she should wear a mask and have windows open if she is using some chemicals,
like when she is cleaning the oven or using drain cleaner.

Get plenty of exercise. It makes the muscles around your lungs work harder and makes
them stronger.

If there is a fire in your home or school, stand well back from the fire as breathing
smoke can be bad for your lungs. Have you noticed how firemen wear special masks when
they are fighting fires? The heat from smoke can burn the tiny bronchioles in your lungs
and some chemicals that are made when plastics and other material burn in a house fire
can be poisonous.

84

When lungs don't work well


Some people have asthma. Sometimes when they get a cold or exercise hard, the tiny
tubes in their lungs get tighter and there is a lot more mucus. This makes it hard to get
air into the alveoli. They can become very short of breath and sometimes they need
medication to help their lungs work well. Our topics on Asthma can tell you more about it.
Illnesses like bronchitis (say bron-kite-us) and pneumonia (say new-mow-nee-a) also make
it hard for air to get into the alveoli.

When lungs don't work well, that means that there is not
enough oxygen getting round to all the cells of the body,
and the body systems don't work as well as usual.
- You feel short of breath.
- It feels like you don't have any energy and
can't do things.
- It feels like you just want to lie down
and rest or sleep.

Kids say

"When I was four I went to hospital. I had asthma and I had a special thing on my finger.
I had to breathe in a mask. My dad was reading to me."

"I've had pneumonia before. I was in hospital for 5 days. I had to have an oxygen mask
because my lungs would not work properly. They were all blocked up."

"I had food poisoning. I couldn't breathe and I had a mask and I couldn't eat. I was in
hospital for four weeks. It was really boring." Lizzie

"My house was on fire. My brother got me out but I was really coughing and I couldn't
breathe. I had to have a mask with oxygen and my chest hurt for a few days but I'm
alright now."

"My grandpop had cancer in his lungs and he died. He used to smoke a lot. I miss him." Carly

XVIII. Answer the following questions from the paragraph KIDS SAY
a) Why did one of the kids go to the hospital?
b) Who was in the hospital for four weeks?
c) Who is sad?
d) What illnesses can you have that involve lungs?
85

Dr Kim says:
Every person breathes all the time. Breathing is so important that you don't
have to spend all your time thinking "breathe in, now breathe out" - your body
does that automatically. Take care to exercise your lungs and keep them away
from harmful things, especially cigarette smoke.

XIII. Play the game "I like/I don't like... The focus is now on expressing likes

Here's one way of playing (usually played in pairs):
You need a dice and counters. Jan-ken by saying "What do you like?" The first
player rolls the dice and moves forward that number. If a 3 is thrown then she says
"I like peas." or "I don't like peas.", whichever is true.
If a 4 is thrown, then the dice is thrown again and the child moves forward the
number thrown and expresses her like or dislike (unless she lands on the "I don't
like..." place).
If a 6 is thrown, then she throws the dice again and moves back the number thrown
and expresses her like or dislike (unless she lands on the "I like..." place.
The winner is the first child to reach the end with an exact number.
The 3 "I don't like..." and exact finish means that there is a good chance of moving
backwards in the game, therefore heightening the suspense and giving more
practice.

Go
forward

Unit IV

First Grade
Social practice of the language
Understand and express differences and similarities between cultural
aspects from Mexico and English-speaking countries.
Environment
Literary and ludic
Specific competency
Read and sing songs in order to identify human values in English
speaking countries and Mexico.
Product B
Recital

108

Achievements:
Recognizes main ideas in songs.
Formulates and answers questions about the
treatment of information.
Compares information using known expressions.
Signs verses and choruses of songs.
Detects rhythm, speed and intonation of songs.

109

I. Choose songs that are clear, make sense and do not contain a lot of unknown
vocabulary.
You may decide to pre-teach some key vocabulary.
II. Gap fills

Write out the song lyrics but leave gaps instead of some words. For example, gap
all the verbs or adjectives.

Students listen and fill in the missing words. They may need to listen two or three
times.

If you feel students will find this difficult, write the missing words randomly around
the text and so the students have an idea what they are listening out for.

III. Jumbled lines

Write out the song lyrics, but this time jumble whole lines and students have to put
them into the correct order while listening to the song.

You may wish to cut up the lines, to make the task easier for the students or get
them to cut up the sheet before the activity.

Students can work in pairs.

IV. Spot the mistakes


An easier activity:

Write out the lyrics of the song, but make about 20 mistakes e.g. change the tense,
write an opposite or synonym instead of the correct word. The students listen.

The first time ask them to underline the words that are different and the second (or
third) time actually write what they hear above the word or phrase that is wrong.

After each hearing they can check with each other in a mixed ability classroom
this ensures no-one is left behind and gets unmotivated.

After they have checked that they got the right words, ask them to go through and
see if the mistakes were words or phrases that were the same, similar or opposite
in meaning: a good focus on vocabulary and/or grammar.

Songs can be a good starting point for a discussion or a presentation.


110

V. Discussion of themes

Choose a song that deals with a topic of interest to your students (e.g. Imagine by
John Lennon which is about peace and brotherhood, Money by Pink Floyd or
Money Money Money by Abba etc), do a listening activity like a gap fill, then follow
up with a careful reading of the song and a discussion on its theme(s).
VI. Presentations
In most of the world a class of teenagers will be full of music fans. I have yet to find a
teenager who likes no music at all. By using the theme of music with children of this
age group, they will be more motivated than if the topic is of no interest to them.

Students can work individually, in pairs or small groups

They choose a favorite singer, group, musician, composer

They research (internet, magazines etc) the above

They produce a presentation which can cover the biography of their


chosen musician(s), their career. It can be a talk, a role play, interview,
sketch

They can use cassettes or CDs, posters, handouts to support their


presentation

This could also take a written form be produced as a poster, booklet,


magazine article ideas for using songs to teach grammar.

VII. Passive voice quiz

When working on the passive voice with your students, bring in a few wellknown songs (no matter whether in L1 or English) and ask: Who was that
song sung / written by? A great example of the passive voice in use and
also drawing in the students knowledge of the world.

Ask students to get into teams. In their teams they must come up with at
least 10 similar questions (they could do some research for homework)
about songs.

Organize a class quiz, where team members challenge each other with
questions like: Who were Satisfaction and Brown Sugar sung by? (Rolling
Stones) or they could bring in tapes/CDs (if this is possible) or sing a snippet
of the song and ask the questions.
111

Volcano

A volcano is a place on the Earth's surface (or any other planet's or moon's
surface) where molten rock, gases and pyroclastic debris erupt through the
earth's crust. Volcanoes vary quite a bit in their structure - some are cracks
in the earth's crust where lava erupts, and some are domes, shields, or
mountain-like structures with a crater at the summit.
Magma is molten rock within the Earth's crust. When magma erupts through
the earth's surface it is called lava. Lava can be thick and slow-moving or thin and fastmoving. Rock also comes from volcanoes in other forms, including ash (finely powdered
rock that looks like dark smoke coming from the volcano), cinders (bits of fragmented
lava), and pumice (light-weight rock that is full of air bubbles and is formed in explosive
volcanic eruptions - this type of rock can float on water). Volcanic eruptions can cause
great damage and the loss of life and property.
The Word Volcano:
The word volcano comes from the Roman god of fire, Vulcan. Vulcan was said to have
had a forge (a place to melt and shape iron) on Volcano, an active volcano on the Lipari
Islands in Italy.
Extreme Volcanoes:
The largest volcano on Earth is Hawaii's Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is about 6 miles (10 km)
tall from the sea floor to its summit (it rises about 4 km above sea level). It also has the
greatest volume of any volcano, 10,200 cubic miles (42,500 cubic kilometers). The most
active volcano in the continental USA is Mt. St. Helens (located in western Washington
state).
The largest volcano in our Solar System is perhaps Olympus Mons on the planet Mars.
This enormous volcano is 17 miles (27 km) tall and over 320 miles (520 km) across.

Successful Science Fair Projects


(Science teacher, science fair organizer and judge)
A successful science fair project does not have to be
expensive or even terribly time-consuming. However, it
does require some planning and careful thought. Projects
become frustrating to students, parents and teachers
when they are left to the last minute and thus don't have
the chance to be as good as they possibly can. You can't
rush good science!

A Science Fair Project display usually asks that you


include certain sections. Your particular science fair rules
and guidelines may use slightly different words to
describe them, but be sure you address each of them as
you go through your project and then again as you write
it up.

Sections of a Science Fair Project


Title
Ideally the title of your project should be catchy, an "interest-grabber," but it should also
describe the project well enough that people reading your report can quickly figure out
what you were studying. You will want to write your Title and Background sections AFTER
you have come up with a good question to study.

142

Background or Purpose
The background section is where you include information that you
already know about your subject and/or you tell your project
readers why you chose the project you did. What were you
hoping to find out from the project?

The Question (Or Selecting Your Subject)


Probably the most difficult part of a science fair project is
coming up with a good subject to research. I suggest to my
students that they:
A. think about WHAT INTERESTS them.
B. think of a TESTABLE QUESTION about the subject.

If you are doing a project about something that interests you, you will
likely enjoy the research more and stick with it long enough to get some good data.
Remember, you are being a scientist.
Scientists go to work each day because they are interested in what
they are studying and because they are curious to know the
answers to the questions they are researching.
If you are working to ANSWER A QUESTION, you will be doing
real research.

Other students who like sports have done experiments with the
equipment for their sport: Do new tennis balls bounce higher than old ones? Do
basketballs that are fully inflated bounce better than flatter ones? These projects
just require some tennis balls or basketballs, some volunteer "bouncers" and a
meter tape or meter stick!
There are many good sources for science fair project questions. The Neuroscience
For Kids Web Site has some neuroscience-related questions that might spark your
interest. Projects involving food - tasting, smelling etc - can be very simple to set
up yet also very interesting. "Can blindfolded people taste the difference between
...?" You can also get lots of ideas from science trade books, such as Janice Van
Cleave's books ("Biology for Every Kid" etc). If you browse through these books at
a store or library, they may give you some ideas for a project of your own.
143

Project Guidelines
Be sure to carefully read the project guidelines for your particular
science fair. Rules vary greatly from fair to fair in what is allowed,
both for safety and ethical/animal use considerations. Obviously,
experiments should not involve illegal substances or involve clearly
preventable danger to you or your research subjects.
Some situations may require clarification from your teacher and/or parents. For
example, suppose you were doing an experiment on the effects of caffeine (or
chocolate) on concentration or reflexes. Think about the possible consequences!
You would need to get permission before providing large amounts of high-caffeine
soda pop. Some science fairs discourage the use of food in experiments because
of food allergies. Again, check with your science fair guidebook or your teacher,
and be sure you clearly communicate to your (human) research subjects what you
will be asking them to consume so they can tell you if they have allergies.

Prediction or Hypothesis
As soon as you come up with a testable question, you will
probably instantly have a hypothesis (prediction) about what
the results will be from your testing. (Isn't the human brain an
amazing thing?!) It's a good idea to write this down before
starting, because it may change as you go about your
experimenting.

Materials and Methods


Once you have come up with a question that you can actually
test with materials at your disposal, you need to figure out how
to set up the tests. If you will have a survey for your
participants to fill out, get that written up and duplicated. If you
will need a chart to write down your test results, get it made. If
you take the time to make it look nice with a straight-edge, you can include the
actual chart or survey instrument in your project write-up. This really impresses the
judges!
Let your teacher or science fair coordinator know what your question is and how you plan
to go about testing it. They will likely have some good suggestions to save you lots of time
and trouble. Once you have their go-ahead, then make a list of your materials, gather them
up and GET STARTED! If you are really doing science, you will probably find that some
things don't go quite as you had predicted they would. You will have to
modify your research methods or even your original question. You may
have to add more materials to your list. My students often get

144

discouraged by this, but actually it is a good thing. This is how science really
works!
Keep good notes of the things you have tried and plan to include even the
"didn't-works" and "mess-ups" in your project report. Be sure to try your experiment
several times to be sure you have enough data to make a logical conclusion. If you tell me
that one brand of cereal gets soggier in milk but you've only tried each cereal in one cup of
milk, I would suspect that maybe it was a fluke; you need lots of "trials" (generally at least
3; the more, the better) for believable data. Remember, too, that you want to keep all of
the experimental factors (variables) the same except the one you are testing. In the cereal
experiment, it wouldn't be fair to all of the cereals if you left one brand in milk for one
minute and tried the others after two minutes or something like that. Again, GET
STARTED EARLY on carrying out your project. You can't still be doing the experiment the
day before the project is due and expect to have a first-class write-up!
In science fair projects as in life, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Plan to take
pictures of the materials you used and of the experiment as it is being carried out. If you
get started early, you will have time to have the pictures developed and include them as
part of your report. (Or if you are lucky and your school has cameras that will take pictures
and put them right into the computer, you will have time to learn how to do that and print
them out for your report.)

Results or Data
The results section is where you tell your reader the actual numbers (or
other data) that you got as you were doing the experiment. (In the tennis
ball experiment, this would be a table with the different brands of balls and
the actual heights each of them bounced on each trial.) You might also
include a graph, if your data lends itself to it. But you do not tell your
interpretation of the data - that's for the last section.

Conclusion
In the conclusion you finally get to tell your readers what you found out from the
experiment, or how you interpret your data. Students often like to use this section to
expand upon how much they liked doing the experiment (and how wise the teacher was to
require such a good assignment!) or how much they learned from it ... but really this
section should be focused on what you learned about your original question and
hypothesis. For example, DID cheaper cereals get soggier in milk faster?

145

The Display
Project displays tend to be another source of great frustration to students,
teachers and parents ... but they don't have to be! Again, what you need to do is
PLAN AHEAD and then THINK OF YOUR AUDIENCE. Remember that they
weren't there when you did the experiment, so what seems obvious to you will not be
obvious to them unless you make it extremely clear.

TORNADO IN A BOTTLE
MATERIALS:

2 2-liter clear plastic pop bottles (empty and clean)


water
duct tape or you can purchase a Tornado Tube at the Weather Wiz Kids
Store that will connect the 2 2-liter bottles together
PROCESS:
Fill one of the bottles two-thirds full of water.
Take the Tornado Tube and twist it on the first bottle. Then, grab the second bottle
and attach it to the Tornado Tube.
Or use duct tape to fasten the two containers. Make sure to tape tightly to make
sure that no water will leak out when you turn the bottle over.
Turn the tornado maker, so that the bottle with the water is on top. Swirl the bottle
in a circular motion. Most tornadoes form counter-clockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere. A tornado will form in the top bottle as the water rushes into the
bottom bottle.
*If you want to get creative, you can also use food coloring to make the tornado
have a color and glitter to represent debris.
EXPLANATION:
The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex and is a easy way to
create your own tornado.
SUCK AN EGG INTO A BOTTLE
MATERIALS:
glass bottle with a long, narrow neck (an apple cider jug
works well)
boiled egg
matches
PROCESS:
Put the empty bottle on a table.
Peel the boiled egg.
Light a match and drop it into the bottle. Repeat about three or four times.
Quickly put the egg over the mouth of the bottle.
EXPLANATION:
What happens? The lit match heats the air inside the bottle. When air is heated it expands
and takes up more room. As the heated air expands, some of it escapes out of the bottle.
When the matches go out, the air inside the bottle cools and contracts, which takes up less
room. This creates a lower pressure inside the bottle than outside the bottle. The greater
pressure outside the bottle forces the egg to get sucked into the bottle.
*To get the egg back out of the bottle, tilt the bottle and blow air into it. Make sure you get
out of the way, because the egg will shoot out.

146

WATER CYCLE
MATERIALS:

pixie cup
baggy
tape
water

PROCESS:
Put a small amount of water in the pixie cup.
Put the pixie cup in a baggy and close the baggy.
Tape the baggy with the cup of water inside of it to a window that the sun comes in.
What happens? With the heat of the sun, the water evaporates from the cup which you
can not see and condenses on the inside of the bag into little water droplets. These
droplets eventually drip down to the bottom of the bag.
EXPLANATION:
This is what happens to the water in our creeks, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans. The
water evaporates into the air and rise with the heat of the sun. It condenses into small
droplets into what we see as clouds. When the droplets become to heavy, they fall to the
ground as rain or snow.
TORNADO IN A JAR
MATERIALS:

mayonnaise jar or a canning jar


clear liquid soap
vinegar
water

PROCESS:
Fill the jar about three-quarters full of water.
Put a teaspoon of the liquid soap into the jar.
Also, add a teaspoon of vinegar into the jar.
Tighten the lid and shake the jar to mix up the ingredients.
Now, swirl the jar in a circular motion.
The liquid will form a small tornado.
*If you want to get creative, you can also use food coloring to make the tornado have a
color and glitter to represent debris
EXPLANATION:
The swirling motion you give the bottle forms a vortex and is a easy way to create your
own tornado.
147

MAKE LIGHTNING
MATERIALS:

aluminum pie pan


small piece of wool fabric
styrofoam plate
pencil with a new eraser
thumbtack

PROCESS:
http://galeria.dibujos.net
Push the thumbtack through the center of the aluminum pie pan from
the bottom
Push the eraser end of the pencil into the thumbtack.
Put the Styrofoam plate upside-down on a table. Quickly, rub the
underneath of the plate with the wool for a couple of minutes.
Pick up the aluminum pie pan using the pencil as a handle and place it
on top of the upside-down Styrofoam plate that you were just rubbing
with the wool.
Touch the aluminum pie pan with your finger. You should feel a shock.
If you dont feel anything, try rubbing the Styrofoam plate again.
Once you feel the shock, try turning the lights out before you touch the
pan again. Check out what you see! You should see a spark!!
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? Its all about static electricity. Lightning
happens when the negative charges, which are called electrons, in the
bottom of the cloud or in this experiment your finger are attracted to the
positive charges, which are called protons, in the ground or in this
experiment the aluminum pie pan. The resulting spark is like a mini
lightning bolt.
148

SODA BOTTLE VOLCANO


MATERIALS:
roll of mint Mentos (type of candy)
clear 2-liter bottle of Coke (diet works better)
PROCESS:
Go outside to an area where you have a lot of room. This experiment is messy!
Open the bottle of soda carefully. Position the bottle on the ground, so that it will not tip
over.
*Diet soda works better than regular soda. Plus, diet doesn't leave a sticky mess.
Unwrap the roll of Mentos. The goal is to drop the Mentos into the bottle at the same time,
which is very tricky. One method is to roll a piece of paper into a tube just big enough to
hold the loose Mentos. Put a card under the roll and on top of the bottle top, so you can
pull the card and the candies will just drop in at once.
Drop all of the Mentos into the bottle at the same time and then move out of the way just
as quick as you can.
Watch the eruption!
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? Water molecules attract to other, linking together to form a tight
mesh around each bubble of carbon dioxide gas in the soda. When you drop the Mentos in
the soda, the gelatin and gum arabic from the dissolving candy break the surface tension.
Each Mentos candy has thousands of pits on the surface. These tiny pits are called
nucleation sites, perfect places for the carbon dioxide bubbles to form. As soon as you
drop the Mentos in the soda, bubbles form all over the surface of the candy. Couple this
with the fact that the candies are heavy and sink to the bottom of the bottle and you're just
asking for an explosion. When all this gas is released, it literally pushes all the liquid up
and out of the bottle in an amazing blast.

CREATE EVAPORATION
MATERIALS:
hand sanitizer
PROCESS:
Pour some hand sanitizer on your hands and rub your hands together, as if you were
washing your hands.
Your hands are now wet, so do your hands feel cooler? Answer: Yes!
After waiting a few seconds, are your hands now dry? Answer: Yes!
The hand sanitizer evaporated off your hands and your hands felt cool, therefore
evaporation is a cooling process!
Repeat the steps above, but this time move your hands through the air. This simulates the
wind. Do your hands feel even colder now? Answer: Yes!
EXPLANATION:
What happens? Again, evaporation is a cooling process and adding wind to the picture
makes evaporation happen faster. This makes your hands feel even colder. This is why we
have a "Wind Chill" factor. The wind causes moisture on your skin to evaporate at a faster
rate, therefore making you feel colder.
149

MELTING SNOW
MATERIALS:

a glass cup
thermometer
snow

PROCESS:
Fill the glass up with snow.
Place the thermometer in the glass filled with snow and take the temperature.
Write down the temperature on a piece of paper.
Bring the glass inside and wait until for about 5 minutes until the snow melts.
Now, take the temperature again. What happened?
EXPLANATION:
The temperature of the snow was much colder than the temperature of the melted snow or
water. Water freezes at 32 degrees. When the glass of snow was brought inside, the
temperature indoors was much warmer than 32 degrees and melted the snow. This is how
the melting process works!

WHAT IS LIGHTNING?
MATERIALS:

fluorescent light bulb


rubber balloon

PROCESS:
Turn all of the lights off in the room. (The darker the better!)
Rub the balloon on your hair for several seconds.
Then hold the statically charged balloon near the end of the light bulb. This will illuminate
the bulb.
Repeat the demonstration as many times as desired.
EXPLANATION:
When you rub the balloon on your hair, the balloon builds up an electrical charge (static
electricity). Touching the charged balloon to the end of the fluorescent light bulb causes
the electrical charge to jump from the balloon to the bulb. This is what illuminates the light
bulb.
Lightning is an electrical discharge within a thunderstorm. As the storm develops, the
clouds become charged with electricity. Scientists are still not sure exactly what causes
this, but they do know that when the voltage becomes high enough for the electricity to
leap across the air from one place to another, lightning flashes! Lightning can spark within
a cloud, from one cloud to another, from a cloud to the ground, or from the ground to a
cloud.

MAKE A WINDSOCK
MATERIALS:
sleeve of a large, old long-sleeved shirt
needle and thread
string
wire
small rock
PROCESS:
Cut one sleeve off an old long-sleeved shirt.
Bend the wire into a circle. Make sure it is the same size as the top of the sleeve.
Place the wire into the top end of the sleeve. Take the needle and thread and stitch it, so
the wire will stay in place.
You have just now made the mouth of the wind sock.
Now, place the rock in some cloth on one edge of the wire. Sew it on tight to hold it in
place.
Tie the string onto the wire opposite the rock.
Tie the other end of the string to a branch where it can move freely. The rock will keep the
windsock facing into the wind.
EXPLANATION:
Now, your windsock is working! Use a compass to find out which direction the wind is
blowing from.

EXAMINING COLORS
MATERIALS:
red, blue and yellow food color (primary colors)
1 cup of milk
dish soap
shallow and flat bowl or container
PROCESS:
Pour 1 cup of milk into the bowl.
Add 3 drops of red food color to one edge of the bowl.
Add 3 drops of blue food color 1/3 of the way away.
Add 3 drops of the yellow food color 1/3 of the way away.
Don't mix of jiggle the bowl.
Squeeze a drop of the dish soap in the center of the bowl.
Watch what happens!
EXPLANATION:
The dish soap does not mix with the milk. Instead, it floats on top and spreads over the surface. As
it spreads, it grabs the food color of the primary colors you dropped into it. Where the color meet,
the combine and form new colors. We call these colors, secondary colors!
Red + Yellow = Orange
Blue + Red = Purple

Yellow + Blue =

PINWHEEL WIND COLLECTOR


MATERIALS:

pin, scissors, sharpened pencil with eraser and square piece


of construction paper (about 8.5" x 8.5")

PROCESS:
Lay the square piece of paper flat on a table and draw a line diagonally from each corner
to the opposite corner.
Mark the center of the square where the two lines cross and punch a small hole through it
with the pencil tip.
Cut along each line stopping about an inch from the hole in the center of the square.
Take the pin and punch a hole in the top left corner of each of the four flaps. (No two holes
should be next to each other.)
Pick up a flap at each punched corner and carefully curve it over toward the center hole,
securing it with the pin. Repeat this for the other flaps.
When all four flaps are held by the pin, carefully lift the paper without letting the flaps
unfurl.
Lay the pencil flat on a table and push the point of the pin into the side of the eraser.
EXPLANATION:
Now your pinwheel is complete! Pick up the pinwheel near the pencil point and let it catch
the wind. You will notice that the pinwheel only spins when the wind hits its center.
MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND UP
MATERIALS:
balloon
PROCESS:
Blow up the balloon and tie it.
Rub it against your hair on top of your head.
Watch what happens! Your hair will stick up!
This also happens when you take off your wool hat in the wintertime. You usually notice
static electricity in the winter when the air is very dry. During the summer, the air is more
humid. The water in the air helps electrons move off you more quickly, so you cant build
up as big of a charge.
EXPLANATION:
Why does this happen? Its because of static electricity! When you rub the balloon on your
hair, youre covering it with little negative charges. Now that each of the hairs has the
same charge, they want to repel each other. In other words, the hairs try to get as far away
from each other as ible. The farthest they can get is by standing up and away from each
other. Talk about a bad hair day!

EXAM UNIT V
UNIT V A

FIRST GRADE

Achievements:

Uses various strategies in order to point out relevant


information.
Selects information in order to rewrite and paraphrase
sentences.
Organizes sentences to make a paragraph.

I.- Quickly look at the title, the picture, the repetitions of words and cognates and
tell us what the topic is about.

TORNADO ALERT
If you dont want to get hit by a tornado, you can rely on the
improved accuracy of tornado warnings. Unfortunately, getting
people to pay attention to those warnings remains another
twister challenge.
In the 1980s, a warning preceded just one in four tornadoes.
Today, the National Weather Service puts out an advance
warning for three out of every four tornadoes.
And if we look only at the 100 or 200 strongest tornadoes each
year, 90 to 95 percent of them are warned in advance, said
Harold Brooks. Hes a research meteorologist at the National
Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Okla.
Of course, there are plenty of false alarms: Three in every four warnings arent followed by
a tornado.
As of 2011, the average advance time for a tornado warning was nearly 15 minutes,
according to the National Weather Service. Extending the warning period by even a few
minutes could save more lives if people acted. It pains meteorologists when those in
the path of a tornado do not heed their warnings.
Earlier this year, the National Weather Service began using much more dramatic language
in some tornado warnings. For example, it issued the especially strong caution below for
Wichita, Kan., at 10:27 p.m. on April 14.

1.- What the topic is about?


a) Recipe for a tornado
b) Tornado missing ingredient
c) Tornado warning
d) Tornado

166

II.- Read the new paragraph and answer the question.


Tornadoes are the most violent storms to strike the United States. As a result, the
National Weather Service has implemented a warning system. The National Ocean
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio issues Tornado Watches,
Tornado Warnings, Severe Thunderstorms Watches, and Severe Thunder Storm
Warnings.
Tornado Watches tell listeners that a tornado could possibly hit their areas and to
stay on alert for storms. Tornado Warnings let people know that a tornado has
been form and they should head to their safety areas.
2.- Which organizational pattern did the author use for this passage?

run by my feet. I jumped up quickly and hit the lamp on the table next to me. The lamp fell
and crashed to the ground, making a loud noise. Soon, my dad was in the room upset that
he was awoken from his nap. I walked over to apologize when I stopped just in time. My
hamster was sitting in front of me, looking up, and smiling. I reached down to grab him,
and he took under the couch and into the kitchen. When I heard the scream, I knew my
mom had seen my pet. She scooped him into a colander and popped him back into his
cage. I tightly secured the top, and he was back in his home. I watched him play, and
thought for sure I saw him give me a little wink.
