Unit 6: Spain´s physical environment and bioclimates

 

 

You can see HERE the presentation about the Unit 6. It is focused to our country, in sense of Physical Geography, relief, shores, river basins and biodiversity. 

I hope you find it useful in order to prepare this unit.

Unit 4: Natural bioclimatic zones on the Planet Earth

You can prepare our unit 4, focused on the natural landscapes in our Planet, with the help of THIS PRESENTATION

 

 

 

 

 

EXERCISES for Tuesday, January 30th:

1) What is the name of these pictures? What is represented here?

2) Describe briefly the elements of these pictures: period of time, elements of climate represented here, how are they, etc...

3) Which kind of climate, in your opinion, do these graphs correspond with (Tropical, Mediterranean, etc...)?

 
 

Problems with atmospheric pressure

Here you can watch some videos about problems related with the atmospheric pressure:

1) Chapter of "Desafío Extremo" with Jesús Calleja. They climb the Kilimanjaro very well-prepared, but some of the tourists suffer the altitude sickness (mal de altura).

2) El "síncope de la apnea" for scuba divers, specially those without any oxigen equiptment (inmersión por apnea)

3) Problems with the pressure in the cabin in a comercial flight

However, remember these situations are produced by incorrect human behaviors. It is necessary to respect Nature and also the limits of the human body, but it is no good to be scared neither. You can practice all these activities and sports if you want, but always been responsible and following a very correct equipment and previous preparation :-)

Unit 4: The atmosphere. Weather and climate

Here you are a presentation about our Unit 4: Weather and climate 

You can maybe find it useful in order to prepare and study this unit, as an optional material for this unit. 

Unit 3: The continents

Here you can see a presentation about the unit 6 in our book: the world´s natural environment.

Pay attention because the order of the continents here is not the same than in our book. Except by that, the rest is quite similar and this presentation can be useful in order to study and understand the better this unit. 

The best way to prepare this unit, in addition of our lessons, the blog and our book, is to play with THIS WEBPAGE. Notices you can select language, so you can play the same maps in Spanish and English. Practice as more as you want and have fun! ;-) 

Unit 2: The Earth´s physical characteristics. Basic components

You can prepare Unit #2 with the help of two presentations:

1) Presentation #1: Available through THIS link

2) Presentation #2: Abailable through THIS link

 

We will prepare the part of the unit related with the hydrosphere with the help of a couple of resources:

1) HERE you can watch a presentation in Power Point related with the water cycle 

2) HERE you can watch another blog with some resources (videos, sketches, activities, etc...) related with the unit
