Photos and postcards from Poland

Some photos and postcards from Poland decorate our classroom.



The april fair

From saetas (religious flamenco songs) to sevillanas (Seville flamenco songs)... Once the pointed hoods, trumpets and drums of Easter week are left behind, it is the turn of flounces, ornamental combs, castanets, and, above all, the joy of a people who positively give off imagination and good humour. Seville is more beautiful than ever during the fair, and, with music and jubilation, it displays the essence of this magical city: its joyful spirit and the good nature of its people.

Up or down?

To make our experiment, we need this materials:
Two boxes
Two sticks
Two funnels
A sticky
A cardboard cylinder

To make or experiments, we need to prepare a pair of sticks tilts with two boxes.
Then we fix two funnels with a sticky, to make our double funnel.

If we drop a cardboard cylinder in the sticks, we can see that it goes down because of the action of gravity. However, if we drop our double funnel in the sticks, we can see it goes up.

If we pay attention, in the upper part of the tiet sticks, it increases the separation of the sticks and it makes that when the funnels roll up, its center of gravity (that coincides with the geometric center) goes down.

So the funnel, the same as the cardboard cylinder, goes down because of the action of gravity.
