Cross curricular work about BMI and healthy eating habits

 4th ESO students have been working about BMI and healthy habits as a crosscurricular activity, firstly they worked with their PE teacher Elena and made beautiful posters and finally they did the same with their maths teacher, sharing data in a spreadsheet, analizing an article from "el País"(in English), calculating their BMI and knowing that the WHO not only considers the BMI as a parameter for obesity but also the age.

Using these graphs;

They obtained the following results;

World Obesity Day

Next March 4th will be World Obesity Day, and we will come together to call for change. Obesity is one of the biggest public health challenges facing the world today, affecting 800 million people with millions more at risk. It is a life-altering disease that increases the likelihood of comorbidities and doubles the risk of Covid-19 hospitalisation, yet people living with obesity lack support and face stigma at work, home and in the health system. To make change a reality, we need action: "Evebody needs act" Here we have some works from our bilingual students:

International day of women and girls in science

 In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General Assembly declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015.

As a consequence we celebrated this day at high school. 4th ESO students were investigating about famous female mathematicians and designed a poster using canva.

You can see below some of them

Fist Aid care

Practicing first aid situations When a person is injured or becomes suddenly ill, your quick action can prevent the injury or illness from worsening, and it may even save the person’s life. Although every emergency situation is unique, understanding basic principles of giving first aid care will always serve you well. That is why this week in PE we have been working on First aid situations.

Calculating PI

 Students from 4th course have performed an experiment to calculate Pi using probability, this experiment is a part of our eTwinning project "Experimenting on maths together". They have thrown grains of rice into a circle inscribed in a square and have calculated the quotient between the grains inside the circle and the total number of grains, four timesthis quotient is a good estimation for pi.

The general result was Pi=3,24 and one of the teams obtained pi=3,184. In our opinion is it really a good estimation for pi, considering the material we used and that we are applying probability
