IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS:

Click here --> Definitions of electricity and Magnetism

Electric current: is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. 

Electric circuit: it is a continuous conducting path that electric current can

flow along.

An electron: is a particle of an atom that is negatively charged and orbits

around the nucleus of the atom.

Electron (-)

Proton (+)

Neutron

Magnetic bar: it’s a permanent magnet because it can’t be

switch on and off. It always has a magnetic field. The lines

around it represent the magnetic field.

Magnetism: is an invisible force between two magnetic objects or between a magnetic object and an object made of magnetic materials (for example, iron).

Magnetosphere: is the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetosphere 

protects life on Earth by deflecting solar radiation.

The center of the Earth is made up of liquid iron, due to the rotation of the Earth liquid iron moves and produces a magnetic field around it.

Compass: it’s an instrument that detects the Earth’s

magnetic field and helps us to find our way.

Review of Social Science: Post-War and Spain since 1975

 Post-War and Franco´s Death!!

After a war, the consequences are always devastated: there is not enough food or water, buildings, houses and roads are destroyed and communication is hard to establish again. 

After the Civil war in 1940 - 1950, living conditions were hard and people in Spain were really poor, living in missery. Spain didn’t participiate in the Second World War, but Franco supported Germany. After this war, the United Nations were created, and Spain wasn’t allowed to be a membership until the dictatorship ended.

It was in 1960s, when there were economic reforms and the economy in the country started to improve and getting better the living and working conditions. Tourism started to become important. 

Franco then, named Juan Carlos de Borbón as his successor, so the monarchy was again restored when Franco died. 

In the 1970s, Franco was old and ill. Some supporters were divided into some who wanted to continue as before (without changes) and others who wanted reforms. 

Admiral Carrero Blanco was named as the prime minister: he wanted to continue the dictatorship but he was killed by the terrorist group ETA. Franco died in 1975, after 36 years of dictatorship.

Please, review and complete the activity of  the timeline in your notebook!!

5. Spain since 1975

After Franco´s death, Juan Carlos I began with the transition to democracy. It wasn’t until 1978 when the new constitution was finally done. 

During the transition, important reforms were introduced by the prime minister Adolfo Suárez: 

 All political parties were made legal. 

 There was a democratic election in 1977. 

 A new constitution was written. 

In 1978 people voted in favour of the constitution in a referendum and it was adopted. This constitution is the one valid nowadays, and it is the base to the government today.

What things were introduced or modified with the Spanish Constitution in 1978?

Let´s complete the missing parts with the BLUE info:

 Let´s complete the parts missing in the Notes with the BLUE info:

Electromagnetism

What did the scientists find out? These scientists discovered that electricity and magnetism are linked to each other. Electric current produces a magnetic field when it flows along a wire.

A magnet can also create electric current in a wire. To create an electric current, we can move a magnet in a circular motion around a coil of wire.

Electrical generators in power stations

We can generate electricity with magnets.

Power generation video!

Hydroelectric power video II! Please, click to check how the electricity is generated!!

5. Electromagnets

Many modern inventions use electromagnets. Electric bells use electromagnetism. Common electromagnetic inventions include electric bells, high speed trains, speakers and microphones.

What are some uses of electromagnets?

Maglev

A magnetic levitation train, or a maglev, uses electromagnets to levitate above its tracks. Magnets are also used to move the train forward. Maglevs can travel at very high speeds because there is no friction between the train and the track.

2. Speakers and microphones

In a speaker, electric current causes a cone to vibrate and produce a sound. A coil is attached to the cone.

In a microphone, sound waves cause the cone to vibrate. The vibration is then transformed into an electric current as the coil moves through the magnetic field of the magnet.

3. Electric Bell

1. The switch is closed and electric current flows through the circuit.

3. The hammer is attracted to the electromagnet and hits the bell.

 

Natural Science Mind map! 2nd part! Electromagnetism!

Dear students,

In order to continue reviewing the electromagnetism, let´s create a mindmap.

• Who are the scientists related to Electromagnetism?

Industrial Revolution!!

What was the Industrial Revolution? When and where did it begin?

The Industrial Revolution was a series of economic and technological changes that began in Great Britain in the 18th century. Inventions such as the steam engine meant that products could be made in factories instead of by hand. Industry expanded and became more important than agriculture.

During the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution was taking place accross Europe. These changes happened more slowly in Spain than in other European countries. Spain´s economy was based mainly on agriculture for most of the 19th century. Industrial development was limited to some parts of Spain.

• There were textile factories in Cataluña.
• Mining was important in Asturias and in Río Tinto area in Huelva.
• The steel industry developed in País Vasco.

Transport was also transformed by the invention of the steam engine. Trains powered by coal were developed and began to be used in the early 19th century.

Industrial Revolution - video!

In the second half of the 19th century the Spanish railway network expanded rapidly. This helped industry to develop because it was easier to transport people and products.

Let´s review about the Industrial Revolution. Please, check the following sentences.

Is it true or false?

1. Industry became more important than agriculture during the Industrial Revolution.
2. The Industrial revolution happened more quickly in Spain than in other European countries.
3. Transport didn´t change significantly in the 19th century.
4. The working class included people who worked in factories.

Artistic movements in the 19th century: Romantism, Realism and Modernism

Dear students,

Did you know that there were different artistics movements during the 19th century?

What were their names?

• Romanticism: It emerged in the late 18th century. It was a reaction of the Industrial Revolution. Artists wanted to show their feelings, nature and beauty. Francisco Goya was the most important artist in Spain.
• What´s romanticism? - video

• Realism: emerged in the mid 19th century, as a reaction of Romanticism. Artists and writers focused on working class daily life.
• Realism Art Movement - video

• Modernism: emerged in the late 19th century. It was related to the new shapes and experiments with the new materials, like "La Sagrada Familia" in Barcelona. 

Can you find out what the differences were between each other? What were their characteristics and their names?
