I learn science at school. And I particularly like animals. I have travelled a lot with my family. We have visited zoos, aquariums and many natural places all over Spain, ireland, and some other countries. We usually make photographs. And I have made a poster with REAL pictures (that me made on our trips) about the classification of animals. Here it is:
DO YOU WANT TO BECOME A GOOD SCIENTIST?
Do you like drawing? Taking photographs? Observing nature?
One very, very important thing is to have a good scientist's notebook. Here you have one, to draw all the species you like, the most surprising one. All you need to do it is...CREATIVITY!!!
MY EXPEDITION WITH MY DAD
One early morning my Dad and I decided to go out to the wild. Follow us:
Look at the pictures again. Now write your own story. You may invent the characters, the names of the places, and eveything you want. BE IMAGINATIVE!!!
LOOK UP!!
HIGHER, HIGHER.
Can you see the clouds? They are wonderful, they have original shapes. They LOOK LIKE elephants, spaceships, goats, clowns,...
There are types of different clouds:

| DINOSAURS HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THEM? ARE YOU AN EXPERT?

| I visited London with my family, and also with my school, here in Galicia. And there we went to the NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM. There was a statue of a very famous scientist, CHARLES DARWIN. I was interested in him, and I asked my teachers. I discovered he was a fantastic man. Curious, open-minded, and eager to find new worlds. he wrote a theory, the THEORY OF SPECIES. He said that all creatures come from common ancestors, and that stronger animals and plants survive better than others, and also adapt themselves to the different places and habitats. Fascinating!!!

Have a look at the map. Imagine you are Darwin, writing a letter about the experience.
How would you finish it?

MY GREENHOUSE
I spend many hours in my greenhouse. Because it is relaxing, estimulating, and very funny. I discover incredible adventures there: plants growing, insects coming, plants eating insects,... it is like watching a TV documentary.
OUR PLANET
Read this text about our incredible planet Earth:
We all live on planet Earth. Earth is full of living organisms .We can see living things all around us. There are plants, animals, birds, insects and tiny microscopic micro-organisms. Have you ever wondered if there is life on any other planet? People have tried to find the answer to this for ages. From the information gathered until now, we have concluded that it is possible that there is life on some distant planets in outer space.
However we do not know about it yet. In our solar system we are the only ones. Our solar system is the Sun and all the bodies that circle around it. That includes the nine planets, their moons, the asteroids and comets. Our Earth is one of those nine planets. The nine planets move around the Sun in definite path’s called orbits. Mercury is closest to the sun, then Venus. Next is Earth, Mars, Jupiter, then Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the farthest one is Pluto.
So why is life only on Earth? The answer is that, none of the other eight planets have conditions suitable for life. Living organisms need liquid water. The first living organisms on Earth were formed in water. Earth is the only planet at the correct distance from the Sun where water can remain in a liquid form.
Mercury and Venus are too hot. There is absolutely no water on those planets. Mars may have had liquid water in the past, but does not have it anymore. All of Mars’s water is frozen in its two polar ice caps. Jupiter and Saturn are planets made entirely of gas. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are too far away from the sun and extremely cold for any life to survive.
Our Earth also has the right size and the right gravity to hold the atmospheric blanket around it. The atmosphere around the Earth contains all the necessary gases in the air and moisture needed by living organisms. This atmospheric blanket also helps to keep Sun’s heat energy trapped. This heat is required to keep the Earth’s temperature right, to maintain liquid water. Thus Earth is the only planet with the right distance from the Sun, right temperature, right size, right gravity, liquid water and all the other components necessary for life. Earth is our only home, the only planet with life. We need to preserve it.
Now take the underlined words. Use them to make mind maps. From every word, write five more, with some kind of relationship.

BRAIS, MY LIZARD
I found him one day. I observed him. And he didn't leave. Always in the same hole. I'm sure he likes it. I give him ants, flies. And I called him BRAIS.
