HELLO GUYS!

Hello guys!
We are students from Santa Maria del Pilar school, Zaragoza.
We are also working in the Comenius project and we would like to tell you some things about us and our city.
In our class we are thirty students, nine girls and twenty-one boys. In Comenius project we are working with the English´s teachers, Eva Flores and Rebeca Romero, the Geography´s teacher, Carlos Guallart.
We think that you will like our city, because it´s a fantastic place to live. Here you can go to a lot of parks, visit many museums, churchs and many other interesting places.
Our school is very big, one of the biggest in Aragon because we are more than 1.500 pupils. There are four big buildings with a lot of classrooms, a grass soccer field, two swimming pools, ping-pong tables, a church, a sports center, a few computer rooms,and a lot of outdoor spaces.

Activity in the Laboratory

On this Thursday morning all of us met in the school laboratory. We all got in groups of three or four people, then we were given instructions to do the experiments. The first experiment was with a candle, we were supposed to light it and observed what happened. Then we were supposed to blow it out and write down more observations.
After that we had to melt some ice cubes and observe the changes in their state, from solid to liquid.
We boiled the ice cubes and took the temperature of them while they were getting hotter and hotter, to see how the temperature rose. Then we drew a diagram of the rising temperature in the difference of twenty seconds. After the experiments were done we were supposed to write a conclusion. At the changes of state; solid, liquid and gaseous.
Most of us had already done experiments like this in maybe 6th grade, so we were familiar with this kind of activities.
