Pancake Day

Pancake Day is celebrated in some countries, such as, England, on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
People celebrate this holiday by eating pancakes. It is very popular too, on this day, to promise to give something up during Lent, something you like a lot or that you have to try hard to give it up.







Today, in the English session, Elena has shown us, through a motivating activity, how to make pancakes.








You can see here some pictures that show you not only the ingredients but also the steps you have to follow to make them yourself.

At the end of the session, thanks to Cinta, the student that is training as a teacher here in our school, we have been able to taste the delicious pancakes and to celebrate the success of such a nice activity.
You can watch the video below to see how much we have enjoyed it.

Newton’s three laws of motion

Sir Isaac Newton was a physicist and mathematician from the 17th century. He is famous, among other things, for his laws of motion. These laws explain why objects move (or don’t move) as they do.

First law:
Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that every object in motion or at rest remains in that state unless an unbalanced force is applied to it.
The following video from ESA (European Space Agency) explains very clearly this law:




Second law:
Newton's second law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased.

F=m·a

Third law:
This law is also known as the "action-reaction law". It says that all forces in the universe occur in equal but oppositely directed pairs. There are no isolated forces: when one body exerts a force on a second body (action), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body (reaction).

Our students from the 4th year of ESO have produced this great video that illustrates the third law with an everyday event.
