NATURAL SCIENCES. YEAR SIX.

Hello! My name's Ingrid Marín Sanz. I'm an English and natural sciences teacher in a public school in Arenys de Mar, Barcelona. My school is Joan Maragall.

This course, in year 6 we have  learnt about the importance of simple machines in our daily life.
Through this blog I'm going to show  you the development of my PBL project.

First, I introduced my students to the topic through this OK GO video.



After watching it, I asked them the driving question.


What do we need to learn about simple machines?


Let's practise!








Group activities were great!











 Teacher in action!



 One of the sessions was dedicated to learn about special effects in movies and advertisement. ACCIALT FLYING EFFECTS is a Catalan company who uses pulleys in order to create awesome visual effects!










  Thinking about our simple machine model using  reyicled materials was not easy.
For starters: we watched  some videos for inspiration.

A week later my classroom was full of rubbish!



 Ready to start  amazing machines!






 Oral presentations.



















Here you can see the project's template with the objectives, assessment  and the activities I designer for my sudents.


Conclusions

Teaching PBL is not easy. I'm still learning!
