WHERE DOES DOMESTIC WASTE TRAVEL?

Hello:
I send you some articles found in the newspaper "Las Provincias" on 30/11/2008 that can help to learn a little more about the final destiny of the waste we produce. This information will help you fill out the last part of the work of Science across the World and also to compare with other countries

ORIGAMI BOOK

Things we can make from so a simple waste paper. Do you dare? You are welcome. Maybe with a bigger sheet of paper this model would be easier.

Don't panic. There are easier models. Enter in http://es.youtube.com and write the key words "origami" or "papiroflexia" in the SEARCH window. You'll find a lot of ideas. Choose the one you like the best (if you think is easy enough for you) and try to make it.

Remember you should make some art object from waste material. This is one of your holiday homework

Quines coses poden fer-se a partir d'un simple paper d'embolicar regals. T'atreveixes? Ànim, potser amb un paper més gran siga més fàcil realitzar aquest llibret. Però no cal asustar-se. Hi ha molts models. Entra en aquesta pàgina web i cerca en la finestra on diu SEARCH escrivint les paraules clau "Origami" o "papiroflèxia". Segur que trobes moltes idees que t'agraden. Tria aquella que t'agrade més (i que penses que estàs capacitat per fer-la) i interta fer-la
Recordeu que un dels vostres deures de Nadal és fer un objecte artístic a partir de materials de rebuig. Aquest tipus de treball no són massa difícils.

RECYCLED CHRISTMAS

Reduce, reuse, recycle ... how can we forget the lesson?
If you are fond of sending Christmas you can reuse paper and cardboard and make a personal greeting. Here you have a nice idea: You only have to download these models at cards.com and follow the instructions.
You can always send it to your favorite teacher or your family favorite too!

Reduir, reutilitzar, reciclar... com podem oblidar la lliçó?

Si ets aficionat a enviar Christmas i no pots reduir la teua despesa de paper, sempre pots reutilitzar paper i cartró de casa i fer una felicitació personal amb la qual quedaràs molt bé.
Solament has de baixar els models cards.com i les seues instruccions.
Sempre podeu felicitar el vostre professor/a favorit/a!

EXHIBITION ABOUT WASTE AND RECYCLING

We plan to make an exhibition about waste and recycling by the end of January 2009. First you need to gather all types of waste, in order to classify them, display them and explain (in English) what to do with them. Every team in class already know which type of waste material they have to collect. It would also be very interesting to show a sample of objects made with waste materials, as I suggested in a previous post.
We will make an exibition in the Hall of our school and you should explain the content to your fellow classmates (3 ESO A, B and 3 ESO ESO 3 C). Pont't panic, please. We will be helped by an extraordinary teacher, Mr Tim Herdon, on the 7th and 9th January

Tenim previst fer una exposició sobre residus i reciclatge per al final de gener de 2009.primer de tot caldrà recollir tot tipus de residus, per poder classificar-los, exhibir-los i poder explicar (in English) què cal fer amb ells. Ja sabeu que cada equip de classe s'ha responsabilitzat de dur mostres d'un determinat tipus de residus. També seria molt interessant poder afegir a l'exposició una mostra d'objectes fets per vosaltres amb materials de rebuig, tal com us he proposat en altres entrades.
Farem una exposició en el Hall i haureu d'explicar l'exposició als vostres companys de classe (3 ESO A, 3 ESO B i 3 ESO C). Per poder fer molt bé aquesta activitat comptarem amb l'ajuda d'un fantàstic professor, Tim Herdon, que vindrà a l'institut els dies 7 i 9 de Gener

CREATE A SLIDE SHOW WITH YOUR PICTURES

Do you like it ? Definitely yes. Go to this page and you'll see how easy it is. There is a Spanish version (see at the bottom). You only have to register and follow the instructions (in Spanish)

Punxa-hi i pega després el codi que has copiat. Si prems en VISTA PREVIA veuràs com t'ha quedat. No t'oblides, finalment de prèmer PUBLICA UN MISSATGE o no quedarà guardat

HOW TO UPLOAD OUR FILES TO A VIRTUAL HARD DRIVE

Sometimes we have a homework (or songs, photos, and so on) too large to be attached to an e-mail. An alternative is uploading it to the Internet and store it into a virtual hard drive. There are many virtual disks. I use www.esnips.com.
The other day, in the computer classroom was not possible to complete the explanation about how it works. Now you have here a tutorial in Spanish written by some teachers of Andalucia We appreciate their effort for making public this valuable information

Moltes vegades tenim un treball (o cançons, fotos, etc) massa gran que no podem posar en un email. Una alternativa és pujar-lo a Internet i emmagatzemar-lo en un disc dur virtual. Hi ha molts discs virtuals. Jo utilitze www.esnips.com. L'altre dia, en l'aula d'informàtica no fou possible acabar l'explicació de com funciona això. Ara us passe un tutorial en castellà creat per professors d'un CEP d'Andalucia als qui agraïm el seu esforç i el detall de fer pública aquesta informació tan valuosa

WASTE REVIEW

Often we have doubts. There are waste items we are not sure where to deposit them. This video of the TV3 (in Catalan) can help us to resolve this problem. Although it seems to be very childish, it is worthy to watcht them.
You can see here other videos of Jose Luis Gallego in TV3 .

Sovint podem tenir dubtes. Hi ha residus que no sabem on dipositar-los. Aquest vídeo de la TV3 ens pot ajudar a resoldre aquest dubtes. Tot i que sembla molt infantil, paga la pena veure'l.
Altres vídeos de Jose Luís Gallego a TV3 els podeu veure ací.
