Homework for Wednesday, the 18th and PODCAST CORONAVIRUS

ACLARACIÓN SOBRE ESTA TAREA:
No tenéis que solicitar acceso para editar el archivo. Al estar en Drive, si pedís acceso para editar cambiaríais el archivo que yo tengo guardado, además me llevaría mucho tiempo dar acceso a cada uno de los 75 alumnos de 3º que tengo. Tenéis que darle a la flechita de DOWNOLAD, responder la ficha en vuestro ordenador y luego guardarla con vuestro nombre y curso para enviarla a mi mail. La otra opción es imprimirla, escribirla a mano y luego mandar foto. O simplemente poner el número de la pregunta a mano y la respuesta, y luego mandar foto. No caigáis en el error de copiaros las actividades unos a otros, como se hizo en alguna práctica de laboratorio... No merece la pena y además terminamos dándonos cuenta, y al final eso baja nota.

Por último, por favor, dudas sobre cómo entregar actividades , problemas en descargas etc., ponedlos como comentarios abajo en el blog. Lo podéis hace de forma anónima y yo contesto ahí para que lo vean todos. Cuidaos mucho y ánimo con estos días en casa.


Read pages 94 and 95 in the text book and complete the worksheet about "The brain and its functions". For those who haven't got the photocpy in paper,  download it here.

The file is a word document, so you can write on it directly and save the file with the title " Brain. your name and class". If you have the photocopy, just write on it and take a picture to send it as an image to my email.
Have a nice weekend.

PS: Para alumnos y familias: Si tenéis tiempo este fin de semana evitad ir a los centros comerciales o a sitios concurridos. Y en vez de ver la tele o jugar a videojuegos todo el rato os sugiero que escuchéis este podcast sobre especial sobre el CORONAVIRUS. Es solo media hora, pero si no tenéis tiempo (cosa difícil) escuchad a partir del minuto 17, donde habla de ESTRATEGIAS DE PROTECCIÓN INDIVIDUAL y FORMAS DE FORTALECER EL SISTEMA INMUNE.
 Programa de radio coronavirus
 Por favor, ponedme en los comentarios del blog qué os ha parecido el programa. Gracias.

CLARIFICATION ABOUT HOMUNUCULUS

For those who were in Germany, you don't need to know many things about what is an homunculus to do the lab pracatice, because you just have to follow the instructions in Spanish, and I didn't expalin very much in class about it. Some students have told Verónica they don't know how to do this activity but I don't know what is exactly the doubt. Please, you can ask any doubt about the proposed activities writing a comentary below the post of the blog, so if many of you have the same doubt I can answer just once. 

If the doubt is how to make the card, you just have to cut the  in the link named " download the shape of the card here", then, you have to glue that piece of paper on a plastic card (old DNI, for example) or the cover if an old notebook or the last year agenda, something harder than a cardboard, something made up with plastic, and finally, cut the shape to obtain the different pointed triangles that you will use for producing the sensations.

Moreover, you can see this video  that explains what an homunculus is. I hope you understand it better now.

Remember to deliver the tasks mentioned in the previous post before next Wednesday.
