The first step of the scientific method is to make an observation. To observe something is to look at it and
realize something. For example, you may be looking out the window and notice that all the grass on the
playground is green. In the winter, you may notice that the grass turns brown. You have just made an
observation.
The second step is to ask a question. What do you want to find out? Maybe your question is "why does the grass change
from green to brown in the winter?" Your question should be something you do not already know the answer to.
The third step is to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is like an educated guess. What do you think the answer to your
question is? You may want to do some research about your question before you come up with your hypothesis. A
hypothesis is usually an "if... then" statement. For example, your hypothesis might be: "if there is less sunlight, then the
grass turns brown," or "if the air is colder, then the grass turns brown."
The fourth step is to test your hypothesis. This is the fun part! To test a hypothesis, scientists conduct experiments.
Coming up with an experiment can be tricky. What can you do to find the answer to your question? Maybe
you will grow grass in different environments, changing the levels of light and the temperature. You could
observe the grass and take notes, recording whether or not the grass turns brown.
The fifth and final step is to analyze your data and draw a conclusion. Let's say that looking back through
your notes, you notice that the grasses that were kept cold turned brown while the grasses that were kept warm stayed
green. You may come to the conclusion that grass turns brown in the winter because of the colder temperatures. Once your
hypothesis has been proven, it becomes a theory.
7.) True or False: Your science question should be something you already know the answer to.
A. True B. False
8.) True or False: You may want to do some research before you come up with your hypothesis.

B. Identification and organisation of knowledge
Read and answer the questions below.
Have you ever sat out at night, gazed up at the sky, and wondered why some stars are brighter than others? Hipparchus, an
ancient Greek astronomer, first compared the brightness of stars. His method was called the apparent magnitude of stars.
It just compared how bright the stars appear to us from Earth. It did not compare the actual brightness of stars compared to
each other.
It was only after the invention of the telescope that we developed a way to compare the 'true' brightness of stars to each
other. This method, called absolute magnitude, allows astronomers to compare the brightness of stars as if they were all
the distance of 10 parsecs from Earth. One parsec is equal to 3.26 light years, so that means that the light from a star 10
parsecs away would take more than three years to reach Earth!
The term magnitude is defined as “how much of a quantity”. For instance, the magnitude can be used for explaining the
comparison between the speeds of a car and a bicycle. It can also be used to explain the distance travelled by an object or
to explain the amount of an object in terms of its magnitude. Therefore, what is magnitude in Physics?
In Physics, magnitude is defined as the maximum extent of size and the direction of an object. Magnitude is used as a
common factor in vector and scalar quantities. By definition, we know that scalar quantities are those quantities that have
magnitude only. Whereas vector quantities are those quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
Mechanics is a quantitative science which means we will describe human movement and its causes using numbers. To
provide information about a movement, we have to be able to specify how it is measured. For example, we define distance
and time by specifying methods for measuring them, whereas we define average speed by stating that it is calculated as
distance traveled divided by time of travel.
Measurements of physical quantities are expressed in terms of units, which are standardized values. For example, the
length of a race, which is a physical quantity, can be expressed in units of meters (for sprinters) or kilometers (for distance
runners). Without standardized units, it would be extremely difficult for scientists to express and compare measured
values in a meaningful way.
There are two major systems of units used in the world: SI units (also known as the metric system) and English units (also
known as the customary or imperial system). English units were historically used in nations once ruled by the British
Empire and are still widely used in the United States. Virtually every other country in the world now uses SI units as the
standard; the metric system is also the standard system agreed upon by scientists and mathematicians. The acronym “SI”
is derived from the French Système International.
The seven basic units of quantities are: Length - meter (m), Time - second (s), Amount of substance - mole (mole),
Electric current - ampere (A), Temperature - kelvin (K), Luminous intensity - candela (cd) and Mass - kilogram (kg)
QUESTIONS

CLIL IED Sofía Camargo de Lleras. 10th grade
Think of objects around you (at home, at school, in the Street..) Use the units of quantity and write the measurement.
when you reach the speed of light or when physicists look at very small things like atoms.
Acceleration is a twist on the idea of velocity. Acceleration is a measure of how much the velocity of
an object changes in a certain time (usually in one second). Velocities could either increase or
decrease over time. Mass is another big idea in motion. Mass is the amount of something there is, and
is measured in grams (or kilograms). A car has a greater mass than a baseball.
There are also more complex movements when an object's direction is changing. These would involve curved movements
such as circular motion, or the motion of a ball being thrown through the air. For such complex motions to occur, forces
must also be acting, but at angles to the movement. In order to really understand motion, you have to think about forces,
acceleration, energy, work, and mass. These are all a part of mechanics.
The Four Basic Types Of Motion
Want to know more about linear motion and the other three types?
Everything naturally wants to move and change. In the world of mechanics, there are four basic types of motion. These
four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating. Each one moves in a slightly different way and each type of achieved
using different mechanical means that help us understand linear motion and motion control.
ROTARY MOTION
Rotary motion is anything that moves in a circle. This type of motion was among the first discovered in ancient times.
Think of a spinning wheel on which people spun wool. A car's engine works the same way. Like linear cylinders, rotary
actuators are used across a wide range of industries and come in electric, pneumatic and hydraulic options.
OSCILLATING MOTION
Something that oscillates moves back and forth. Anything that repeats the motion cycle after a certain period is considered
to be oscillating. This type of motion is found everywhere in our world: a sprinkler system, the pendulum of a clock or
even sound waves.
You may be thinking that a rotary actuator functions as an oscillating device, and for that matter, so does a linear one
when it repeats a continuous movement. When it comes to actuators, linear and rotary can be viewed as oscillating.
LINEAR MOTION
Simple enough, linear motion is anything that moves in a straight line, like our linear actuators. Time, as far as we know,
moves in a linear fashion. Just like rotary devices, you can find linear cylinders in electric, pneumatic or hydraulic
options. They have driven the field of automation, manufacturing, robotics, and others into a new age because, in the past,
rotary motion was the only means to create motion.
10
CLIL IED Sofía Camargo de Lleras. 10th grade
Reciprocating motion, also called reciprocation, is a repetitive up-and-down or back-and-forth linear motion. It is found in
a wide range of mechanisms, including reciprocating engines and pumps. The two opposite motions that comprise a single
reciprocation cycle are called strokes.
Newton's Laws of Motion
There was this fellow in England named Sir Isaac Newton. A little bit stuffy, bad hair, but quite an intelligent guy. He
worked on developing calculus and physics at the same time. During his work, he came up with the three basic ideas that
are applied to the physics of most motion (NOT modern physics). The ideas have been tested and verified so many times
over the years, that scientists now call them Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
First Law
The first law says that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object
in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.
Motion (or lack of motion) cannot change without an
unbalanced force acting. If nothing is happening to you, and nothing does
happen, you will never go anywhere. If you're going in a specific direction,
unless something happens to you, you will always go in that direction.
Forever.
You can see good examples of this idea when you see video footage of astronauts. Have you ever noticed that their tools
float? They can just place them in space and they stay in one place. There is no interfering force to cause this situation to
change. The same is true when they throw objects for the camera. Those objects move in a straight line. If they threw
something when doing a spacewalk, that object would continue moving in the same direction and with the same speed
unless interfered with; for example, if a planet's gravity (force) pulled on it (Note: This is a really really simple way of
descibing a big idea. You will learn all the real details - and math - when you start taking more advanced classes in
physics.).
Second Law
The second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by a net
(total) applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force, the
same direction as the force, and inversely related to the mass of the object
(inverse is a value that is one over another number... the inverse of 2 is 1/2).
The second law shows that if you exert the same force on two objects of
different mass, you will get different accelerations (changes in motion). The
effect (acceleration) on the smaller mass will be greater (more noticeable).
The effect of a 10 newton force on a baseball would be much greater than that
same force acting on a truck. The difference in effect (acceleration) is entirely
due to the difference in their masses.
Third Law
The third law says that for every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force). Forces are found in pairs.
Think about the time you sit in a chair. Your body exerts a force downward and that chair needs to exert an equal force
upward or the chair will collapse. It's an issue of symmetry. Acting forces encounter other forces in the opposite direction.
There's also the example of shooting a cannonball. When the cannonball is fired through the air (by the explosion), the
cannon is pushed backward. The force pushing the ball out was equal to the force pushing the cannon back, but the effect
on the cannon is less noticeable because it has a much larger mass. That example is similar to the kick when a gun fires a
bullet forward.

A training method is the form of exercise you select to improve your fitness. The training method selected has a significant impact on
training outcomes. Training must be relevant to your goals, this refers to the training principle of specificity. Those interested in
improving strength and power may use weight or plyometric training whereas someone wanting to improve their cardiovascular
fitness may use continuous, fartlek or interval training.
14
CLIL IED Sofía Camargo de Lleras. 10th grade
The seven methods of training in sports are: Continuous training, Fartlek Training, Circuit Training, Interval Training, Plyometric
Training, Flexibility Training and Weight Training. Each sports training method is unique and has its own advantages and
disadvantages. Certain types of training complement specific sports, such as continuous training works well with athletes who
compete marathons and sports coaches and athletes should be aware of these and how to best in cooperate them into their training
programmes.
Continuous training is any form of training that maintains the heart rate at a desired level over a sustained period of time. An example
of continuous training would be cycling for 30 minutes at an intensity that raises the heart rate. Other examples of exercises include
running, swimming or a mix (e.g. Triathlons).
Fartlek training is a method of training that uses periods of exercise and rest. An example of Fartlek training is running at a full sprint
for 10 seconds, walking for 1 minute followed by a medium intensity jog for 4 minutes. An athlete would then rest for a set period of
time and then repeat the programme again. Fartlek training should always consist of both high and low intensity training.
Circuit training is a type of training that involves exercises at a variety of different stations. An example of circuit training could be to
have six stations where an athlete completes 30 seconds of activity at each station. The stations could consist of: Burpess, Press ups
Sit ups, Skipping ,Tricep dips , Squats
Weight training is a method of training using weights. This could be free standing weights such as the adjustable dumbbells, body
weight exercises, resistance bands or weight machines. Athletes use their 1 Rep Max to determine the intensity of the activity in
weight training. Weight training is measured using Sets and Reps.
Interval training works on both aerobic and anaerobic systems as well as developing the body’s recovery system.
Plyometric training is a type of training that involves exercises with short bursts of high intensity. An example of a plyometric exercise
is a reverse lunge with knee-up.
Flexibility training is often regarded as an addition to a training session and not fully planned for in a yearly training programme. To
do this correctly, Flexibility training should be incorporated into each training session as well as dedicated training sessions just
focusing on developing flexibility.
QUESTIONS:
1. Why do we need to know about the different types of training methods used in sports?
2. What are the differences between Flexibility training and Circuit training?
3. What are the differences between Weight training and Fartlek training?
4. What are the differences between Continous training and Interval training?

2. Answer: What do ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ body image mean? (Whole class)
16
CLIL IED Sofía Camargo de Lleras. 10th grade
The way you see your body is your perceptual body image. This is not always a correct representation of how you
actually look.
The way you feel about your body is your affective body image. Feelings may include happiness or disgust, but
are often summarised as the amount of satisfaction or dissatisfaction you feel about your shape, weight and
individual body parts.
The way you think about your body is your cognitive body image. This can lead to preoccupation with body shape
and weight.
The behaviours you engage in as a result of your body image are your behavioural body image. When a person is
dissatisfied with the way they look, they may isolate themselves or employ unhealthy behaviours as a means to
change appearance.
When referring to body image, people usually talk about healthy and unhealthy body image.
Healthy body image is about feeling comfortable in your own skin:
• Feeling happy most of the time with the way you look.
• Feeling good about yourself.
• Valuing yourself by who you are, not by what you look like.
Unhealthy or negative body image is believing your body isn’t good enough:
• Thinking that you look too fat.
• Feeling like you’re not pretty enough or muscular enough.
• Believing that your looks determine your value as a person.
• Fixating on trying to change your body shape.
As a teen, you are going through a ton of changes in your body and as your body changes, so does you image of
yourself lots of teen have trouble adjusting and this can affect their self-esteem and, consequently, how they act. For
example, a person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his/her behavior, and will enjoy
life more.
Some teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty. Body changes, combined with a natural desire
to feel accepted, makes it tempting for teens to compare themselves with others – the people around them or actors
and celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines. But it is impossible to measure ourselves against others because
the changes that come with puberty are different for everyone. Some people start developing early; others are late
bloomers. It all depends on how our genes have programmed our bodies to act.
It is not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors like media image of skinny girls and
bulked-up guys can affect it too. According to some experts, family life can also influence self-esteem. Some parents
spend more time criticizing their kids and the way they look than praising them, which can reduce kids’ ability to develop
good self-esteem.
If you have a positive body image you probably like and accept yourself the way you are. This healthy attitude allows
you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your
parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally. A positive, optimistic attitude can help people develop strong
self-esteem -for example, saying, “hey, I’m human” instead of “wow, I’m such a loser” when you have made a mistake, or
not blaming others when things do not go as expected. Knowing what makes you happy and how to meet your goals can
help you feel capable, strong, and in control of your life. A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising and
eating right) are a great combination for building good self-esteem.
17
CLIL IED Sofía Camargo de Lleras. 10th grade
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But, actually all you
need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself. Everyone (even the most perfect-
seeming celeb) has things about themselves that they can not change and need to accept -like their height or their shoe
size. If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can (such as how fit you are), do it by making goals
for yourself. For example, if you want to get it, make a plan to exercise everyday and eat nutritious foods. Then, keep
track of your progress until you reach your goal. Whey you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell
yourself to stop. Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three compliments every day. While you are at it, every
evening list three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything from the way the sun felt on your
face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes. By focusing on the good things you do
and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself.

the expected perception by others is immeasurable, when it comes to cleanliness. Pay close attention to these general
healthy hygiene procedures that you should ponder and make your own.
Try to keep your body clean because your body can get unpleasant smell. Body smells can be caused by different
things. Our bodies make chemicals, like pheromones, that attract or repel others. When our body tries to get rid of certain
chemicals, like garlic and alcohol, these chemicals can temporarily make our breath smell bad. Smells can also be caused
by bacteria on our skin and clothes.
Bacteria live on our skin. Bacteria are microorganisms that ‘feed’ on dead skin cells and body fluids like sweat.
The chemicals produced by some of these bacteria have an unpleasant smell. These smelly chemicals build up every day,
so bathe every day, and to change your clothes daily, especially your socks and your underwear. Shoes can get smelly
from bacteria too! Letting them “air out” occasionally will keep your shoes from getting stinky.
Therefore, it is important to follow different actions or procedure to have our body clean. Some of these are: brush
your teeth, take a bath or shower, change your clothes at least every day or when they get dirty or smelly, change your
underwear at least everyday, air out shoes, wash your hair, floss your teeth, use mouthwash, wash your hands regularly …
Be aware that there are always good ways to perform these actions. Here some tips on how to wash your hands:

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The Web
was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in
universities and institutes around the world. He never believe how powerfull this will be.
The internet has inarguably been the most important technology revolution in the history of mankind and fortunately, we
have been in the right generation to keep up and observe the wide impact that it has on the world. However, the web that
we know today has seen many phases, broadly categorized into three phases - Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0.
Web 1.0
Web 1.0 was the first stage of the World Wide Web revolution, usually referred to as read-only web. This was how the
Internet we know today started in the first place, where the websites were merely informational and comprised entirely
static content; they were only linked together by hyperlinks and lacked any interactive content or design elements.
Moreover, this was the era when only text emails could be written and sent, one could not even upload or attach any
images or pictures. Although, personal pages were quite common, consisting mainly of static pages hosted on ISP-run
web servers, or on free web hosting services. Interestingly, it cost the user as per pages viewed. It had directories that
enabled the user to retrieve a particular piece of information.
In a nutshell, Web 1.0 was a content delivery network (CDN) that enabled to showcase of the piece of information on the
websites where users passively receive information without being given the opportunity to post reviews, comments, and
feedback. The content here was served from the server's file system and the pages were built using Server Side Includes
(SSI) or Common Gateway Interface(CGI). Interestingly, frames and tables were used to position and align the elements
on a webpage back then!
It spawned the dot-com bubble, which lasted from 1995 to 2000 and included many internet-based businesses. These were
the companies that emerged with Web 1.0:
Web 2.0
Web 2.0 was the second stage of the evolution of the web, also called the read-write web and it was the phase when
websites grew in terms of user interaction. It was the period when websites became more focused on user-generated
content, usability, and interoperability for end-users, leading them to become the - participative social web.
During Web 2.0, terms like blogs, social media, and video streaming gained popularity. This time period is also
acknowledged for the ease with which music and video clips could be exchanged. It opened doors to podcasting,
blogging, tagging, curating with RSS, social bookmarking, social networking, social media, web content voting, etc. It
was the birthplace of Youtube, Wiki, Flickr, Facebook, and so on. Also, blogging became popular with the introduction of

WordPress which started as a PHP & MySQL-led blogging platform and has now advanced to become a full content
managed system (CMS) which powers over a quarter of the web and e-Commerce completely revolutionized the way we
shop.
Thus, Web 2.0 brought a fundamental shift where people were allowed to share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts, and
experiences via a number of online tools and platforms. It brought us the concept - ' Web as Platform ', where software
applications are built upon the Web as opposed to upon the desktop. This was when websites began using web browser
technologies such as AJAX and Javascript frameworks. This period continued to see the origin of APIs(Application
Programming Interface) - a software intermediary that allows two applications to communicate with one another.
Web 3.0
Web 3.0 is the next generation of web, also termed as the executable web or read- write-execute web. It began with the
onset of dynamic applications, interactive services, and “machine-to-machine” interaction. It is used to describe many
evolutions of web usage and interaction between various paths. Data is not owned in this case, but rather shared, with
services displaying different views for the same web/data.
It has also been referred to as Semantic Web to describe a web in which machines would process content in a humanlike
way where all data would be connected and understood both contextually and conceptually, leading to the herald of
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. With this, information is more connected thanks to semantic metadata. As a
result, the user experience evolves to another level of connectivity that leverages all the available information.
Two key terms associated with this phase are - semantic markup and web services. Apart from defining an item's
appearance, semantic markup aids in its description. It guides in the search for other matched items based on similar
attributes. Semantics, as opposed to Web 2.0, focuses on easy searching. You can now simply enter a keyword into Google
Search and it will intelligently suggest related words.
