Students design their own logos, pictures or other graphic images and then use handheld GPS receivers to map them out. They write out the image on a field or playground, walk the route, and log GPS data. Displaying the collected data on the GPS receiver screen results in the finished artwork. The process requires students to use geometry, sketch, measure distances and make scaling calculations, and familiarizes them with technological devices. A student worksheet is provided.

Students act as structural engineers and learn about forces and load distributions as they follow the steps of the engineering design process to design and build small-scale bridges using wooden tongue depressors and glue. Teams brainstorm ideas that meet the size and material design constraints and create prototype bridges of the most promising solutions. They test their bridges to see how much weight they can hold until they break and then determine which have the highest strength-to-weight ratios. They examine the prototype failures to identify future improvements. This activity is part of a unit in which multiple activities are brought together for an all-day school/multi-school concluding “engineering field day” competition.

Did you know that the biggest shark that has ever existed was the megalodon?
This gigantic beast had a length of 20 meters and weighed 20 tones! The megalodon lived nearly 20 million years ago and disappeared 2 million years ago. It is considered as one of the most powerful predators of history of the vertebrates and their favorite prey where sea mammals such as whales or dolphins. It is a shame that the megalodon has disappeared but to be honest, it would have been really scary. By the way, did you know that its name originated from Latin and it means ‘Big tooth’?
Did you know that sharks can have thousandths and thousandths of teeth in their life time?
Sharks have their denture distributed in layers. when a tooth breaks, immediately, it is replaced by the layers above.
In general sharks have between 5 and 15 lines of teeth, although the first line is the most important, and it is what they usually eat their prey with. Many scientists have assured us that sharks can have up to 30 million teeth during their life
Did you know that sharks don’t stop swimming, not even for when they need to sleep?
This is because of wo reasons. The first is because of their breathing. Whilst sharks swim, they maintain their mouth open, this way the water that contains a lot of oxygen, passes through their gills and absorbs the oxygen to be able to breath. The second reason is that, differently from all fish, sharks don’t have a swim bladder a kind of internal float that fills with air and allows them to float even though they are still. It sounds weird but it is true, if a shark stops swimming it will fall to the bottom of the ocean and drown. Although the sleeping fish is eaten by the shark…..

Hello friends! Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.
Today, we’re going to meet animals that have eight legs, and are a little scary! Today, we’re going to meet.. arachnids!
Same as insects, arachnids are invertebrates and belong to the arthropods. But don’t get confused! Arachnids are part of a different animal group than insects, while insects have six legs, arachnids have eight! Like you can see in these images.
Spiders, scorpions and dust mites are part of the arachnid family, and share a number of characteristics that we need to know.
They have four pairs of articulated legs, they don’t have antennae or wings, but they do have a pair of clamps by their mouth called chelicerae (kelicera) that they use to hold their prey.
A fun fact about arachnids is that they can’t chew, so they swallow their prey by sucking them in. They suck the soft parts as if with a straw. They are carnivores, and spiders and scorpions feed from insects, other arachnids and sometimes small reptiles and mammals.
An Arachnid’s body is divided in two parts: cephalothorax, consisting of their head, and thorax, joined in a single segment, and the abdomen, that can be segmented, or not.
Arachnids breathe through traqueas or pulmonary sacs.
And when they’re born, they look the same as they do when they are adults, but of course, they are much smaller.
Scorpions are the biggest arachnids, the largest ones can measure up to 20cm.
They have huge chelicerae (kelicera) in their heads they use them to grab their prey, before they inject venom with their sting at the end of their tail.
Spiders are the most popular arachnids, but also the scariest. Most of them are venomous, but very few are truly dangerous for human beings. The truth is spiders are astonishing animals.
Also! Apart from being able to produce their famous spider web, they are able to hunt their prey in multiple ways, look look!
Dust mites are the least popular arachnids, because they are so small you can’t see them at a glance, they are microscopic, but what is true is that they’re everywhere!
In every house there are thousands and thousands of dust mites…
Well, now we know a little more about arachnids, the truth is they are very strange and mysterious animals. But, as for everything else, they are important for balance of life, of this marvellous life.

Hello friends! Welcome to a new Happy Learning video.
Have you ever wondered how plants feed? To answer this question, we need to understand photosynthesis!
Photosynthesis is a process in which plants make their own food to be able to grow and develop. In order to perform photosynthesis, they need various elements: sunlight, carbon dioxide, obtained from air and water. They also need chlorophyll, which is a green substance that all plants have, and is fundamental for performing photosynthesis, since it could not happen without it. By the way! chlorophyll is what gives all plants their green colour!
But how does photosynthesis take place?
Look at this plant. As you can see, its roots are anchored to the ground, and through them, the plant absorbs water and minerals in the soil.
Water with minerals are transported up the stem, reaching the leaves. The leaves are full of tiny pores, called stomata, which absorb carbon dioxide that air in their surrounding contains.
All this containing water, minerals and carbon dioxide is called raw sap.
Now it’s chlorophyll’s turn!
The chlorophyll in the leaves has all the necessary ingredients for photosynthesis to take place and when it receives sunlight, the process begins by transforming the raw sap into elaborated sap, which also circulates around the plant and works as food.
All plants feed from elaborated sap, and they store it in their roots, like a carrot. Or in their fruit, like an apple or a pear.
Now we know how photosynthesis takes place but…
Why is it so important?
Without plants, there would not be life on Earth, we wouldn't have oxygen to breathe or food to feed on. You already know that herbivores eat plants and carnivores, eat herbivores. Plants are fundamental for the food chain. And they are also fundamental for our respiration. Actually, when humans breathe, we turn oxygen into carbon dioxide, quite the opposite of when plants perform photosynthesis. A curious fact you need to know is that, at night, because plants don’t have sunlight to photosynthesise, they breathe like humans do. They take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Remember that!
And one last thing so you understand the importance of photosynthesis. When plants absorb dirty and contaminated gases, they transform them into pure air, into oxygen! This way, they clean the atmosphere and all nature. Plants are the best solution to fight against contamination, don’t you think?

Today we are going to learn about the invertebrate animals
You all know that the animals are divided into two big groups, the vertebrates that have an internal skeleton formed by bones and the invertebrates that have no bones.
All the invertebrates are oviparous, and we classify them in 6 big groups:
Sponges, jellyfish, corals, worms, mollusks, echinoderms and arthropods
The sponges are aquatic animals, that are sac shaped and their body is full of pores. It is very easy to remember this group because many times we use them in the shower for our personal hygiene. Yes, many of the sponges we use in the shower are invertebrate animals.
The jellyfish are invertebrate animals that live in the ocean. Their bodies are gelatinous and have tentacles. The truth is that when they appear in the beach it is very annoying because their tentacles have small venomous stingers that produce very unpleasant bites.
Corals are tiny marine animals that produce limestone residue, which give rise to beautiful shapes.
Do you know this animal? Exactly, it’s a worm. Worms are soft and long invertebrate animals that move by dragging their body in the ground, because they have no feet. They can be aquatic or terrestrial. There are some worms that can be harmful and that is why we must be careful with them.
Can you see this snail? Well snails form part of the mollusk group.
Mollusks have a soft body, without legs and can also be aquatic or terrestrial.
Some, like this snail, this clam and mussels, protect their soft body with shells, but there are other mollusks that don’t have a shell to protect themselves like slugs or octopuses.
The echinoderms are exclusively aquatic animals. Their bodies have calcareous plates that form a shell.
Some echinoderms are balloon shaped and are covered in spikes that they use to defend themselves, like sea urchins.
Others are star shaped, and are of course called starfish.
The arthropods are the most abundant animals on the earth. Of every 100 animals that exist, 80 are arthropods.
These invertebrate animals have their body covered by an external skeleton called a cuticle.
The most common way to classify the arthropods is by the number of legs they have. This way we can classify them in four big groups.
Arthropods with 6 legs. In this group insects like ants and flies are present.
Arthropods with 8 legs, where for example the arachnids like spiders and scorpions are.
Arthropods with 10 legs include the crustaceans, like crabs and lobster.
Arthropods with more than 10 legs like this centipede that as you can see has much more than 100 legs are called myriapods.
Well now you know a bit more about the invertebrates.
