As this Thursday we are going to talk about blood and its components, we will be talking about WHITE CELLS and VACCINATION.
So, in the same groups of Super summary, I'd like you to tell me (in a few lines/ a kind of summary)
1) What is a vaccine?
2) What is an antivaxxer? Can you tell me the origins and the history of the movement?
This is the link to a great article on the same topic in one of my fav. science pages
This is what my favourite wolf told Red Riding Hood!!!
But, for reals, we know that what you really need is not a big mouth, it's a lot of right enzymes working at the correct ph...
Well, getting down to business! I'm posting today some videos on Digestive system for you to review for your SUPER SUMMARY on DIGESTIVE SYSTEM that you will hand in on MONDAY, JUNE 8th. Remember we talked about the human body cube I would like everybody to have by the end of the year?
We will divide in 4 groups and you can create your super summary on PREZI or POWERPOINT or PICKTOCHART or PAINT (the app you prefer).
The same groups will complete a practical work on FOOD, LABELS and DIETS for WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10TH. I'm including the link for each group to download it.
PS: I'm so sorry people, but we will have to respect the school timetable from now on. So.. We will meet tomorrow at 9:40! But from 9:40 to 10:20 you will work on a lesson I have designed for you on an interactive page called NEARPOD (my first time, let's hope for the best!!). This is the link for you to join (you don't need to download the app and you can solve the activities in your phone or tablet) It's made for you to complete it as your own rythm, so if you feel like starting earlier than 9:40, you can!
And in case anyone wants a 10, you can answer my new #CHALLENGE on transport of substances that acompanies this post!
Remember that you can leave your answers on the three social media options:
Hi, my fellow "master procrastinators". As I have been receiving a lot of super belated questions on how to make the videos you are supposed to hand in on Thursday, I decided to include an example from a previous year and some comments.
1) As you have seen, the video is a cooking programme like the ones in the Gourmet Channel where you must answer the 10 questions from "The Scientific Chef" WHILE COOKING. Please, add subtitles because sometimes the sound is not very clear. This example video is too long. Make yours between 5 to 7 minutes long.
2) The video IS NOT about the menu, which has to be handed in in a computer file following all the guidances on any practical work (A4 paper, references, cover, badge etc). The menu has to include the dishes you designed and the explanation on why you included those ingredients. (please, write the names of the different courses correctly)
3) The chart can be done in a real chart and photographed or digitally. Don't use charts from internet because the group that cheats will get an #InstantOne
Please, be creative! Quarantine is already boring and dreadful... I gave you almost a month in the hope that you would make something really cool to make my day.
See you on Thursday at 10!!!

PS: This is the complete chart we worked on last class.
And the #Challenge: 1) Which is the only diet (as a way of eating, not of losing weight) that has scientific proved endorsement? 2) What kind of food does it include? Why? 3) Why is it that any diet highlighted in yellow is bad for us? Why shouldn't we leave meat out of our dish???
#Challenge2 There are so many wrong ideas in this message I have recived that I can't even start correcting it. Can you do it for me??
Hi, 4th yeaaaarrr!!! I spent last weekend with the Master on Neuroscience online classes. (Yeah, I DO get bored, too!)
But on Saturday morning we talked a lot about... FOOD and BRAIN. The nutritionist that was delivering the class talked a lot about DIETS so I remembered you and the two missing groups that have complete the chart for me (and send it to me, please).
We were also discussing on Saturday how a misunderstood study (or a totally prepared marketing campaign) made us believe (and use and teach) the benefits of the FOOD PYRAMID for a long time.
but...
So, which balanced meal plan should we use???
I'm also leaving here a great TED talk by my favourite chef JAMIE OLIVER. Although it's a bit old, his concepts are absolutely correct!!
OMG! My cellphone alarm is telling me my loaves of bread should be ready!
See you on Thursday!!!
Hi, my beloved students!!! How are you doing? How is this quarantine treating you? How many kilos have you gained so far??? XD
Well, the title of my post is connected to a very famous song we worked on in class. Do you know remember?
Yes!! Food, diets, stereotypes and all the concepts we have been discussing in class lately.
I'll post a million super interesting videos for you to watch for us to discuss next class!!(Remember I would like to see your summary on these videos before Thursday)
1) This is Sandra's Amodt's video.
2) This is a great video on the Psychology of food based on the article written by Diego Golombek
3) Now, Let's discover why we are hungry!
>
4) Do you want to lose weight (but scientifically)??
5) Can I be a celiac?
Lat class, we also discussed the two meanings of the word DIET
noun: diet; plural noun: diets
1.
the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.--> WESTERN/EASTERN DIETS
2.
a special course of food to which a person restricts themselves, either to lose weight or for medical reasons
I would like to discuss with you some of the TRENDY DIETS people follow these days. For each diet, I would like to know: *The notion behind it *The restrictions they apply *Creator of the diet *Positive and negative points *Calory consumption per day
Let's divide this into 8 groups VEGAN DIET: Santos- Salomón- Rosso VEGETARIAN DIET: Perez- Pérego DETOX DIET Mendez- Lobenstein- Khallouf KETO DIET Ibarra- Herman- Gutierrez Walker FASTING Gentile- Gamiddo- Droz DR RAVENNA'S DIET Cussi- Campobasi- Campisi PALEO DIET: Brandi- Bizai-Orqueda ALKALINE DIET: Astuni- Albarracin We will make a chart on Thursday comparing them.
