WHAT IS EBOLA? HOW IS IT SPREAD? AND HOW DO YOU CATCH IT?
The first case of Ebola transmission in Spain has raised many questions in the class this week about this virus. The very discussed case on television of a nurse that has contracted the virus in a spanish hospital and whether sufficient protocols were implemented to protect health workers has awakened an interest in my students to know more about the virus. How is it transmitted? What are the symptoms? Is there a cure? are some of the questions asked in class.
I have chosen a couple of simple, explanatory videos for you to see. I hope you enjoy them and you learn a little more about Ebola. I have also published a link to CBBC webpage where you can read more.

SEE JOINTS IN MOVEMENT!.. IT'S VERY INTERESTING!
Congratulations to this scienctist for his collection of x-rays, which put together carefully show us joints in motion!
THE BRISTOL FOX
Check out this interesting video about how a wild animal like a fox has become part of an urban habitat. Foxes are often seen in streets and parks in many parts of the UK.

"Final project for my UWE MA Wildlife Filmmaking degree Foxes, one of the UK's most successful urban survivors. An animal that is portrayed in the media as an urban menace, that takes over our streets at night...but how much do we really know about these creatures? This film takes three of the most frequently asked questions about the urban fox and explains them through three different peoples experiences and expertise. It is up to you to decide whether or not foxes deserve the stereotypes that they have been given. The second part of my fox project (an informational website aimed at the Bristol public) can be found at: www.bristolfoxwatch.co.uk"

ORIGIN OF THE ATOM THEORY
Check out this interesting video about the origin of the atom structure theory. The study of atoms has changed from thinking that atoms are static particles, to then finding that the electrons move around the atoms, now it is known that electrons do not follow the laws of motion and that the movement of electrons is unpredictible.

First Documented Case of Child Cured of HIV
PETROL IN SEVILLE AND JAEN
We are studying non-renewable and renewable energy sources. We talked about how fossil fuels were running out because we use them a lot faster than they are replenished. We were talking about the possibility of finding new oil reserves and we mentioned that recently studies were being carried out to determine the existence of oil and natural gas in Andalusia. We talked about the advantages and disadvantages that would arise if such reserves were found and exploited. We all agreed that it would definately be a controversial issue and that there would be different opinions towards exploiting the area or not. This is only one of many articles where you can find more details about this news. Some very nearby villages are mentioned! You may find it interesting!

A SCALE MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE
One of the difficulties in the study of science is understanding the dimensions of the things we study. It's difficult to imagine how small a cell, a molecule or an atom is or how big a planet, star, planetary system or galaxy is.I have found a fantastic scale model of the Universe! Check it out! It's amazing!!

I't s amazing and interestin g because we can learned curious thing that in the past we asked People about it, but they didn't answer us like for example what's the smallest thing on the universe. I m sure you will continue like that , making us learn with such interestin gs data s
