Try to make this manipulative about energy.

ENERGY

Hi, again!

Have you studied the theory in the book? I am sure that you have. Now it is time to enjoy with this new episode of the Magic School Bus.

Have fun!

ENERGY AND RECYCLING

Hi, there! As you have studied something about energy and recycling, I suggest that you see this wonderful and interesting episode about it. It's Charlie and Lola's cartoons.



On the other hand, there is a very sticky song about it too that I am sure you will learn quickly and enjoy.



I have also posted the lyrics so that you can print and learn it.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Because two times three is six
And three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R
We've got three R's we're going to talk about today

We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Well, if you're going to the market to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
Weve got to learn to reduce

And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes
You could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse

And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,

We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Because three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number

3, 3, 3
3, 6, 9, 12, 15,
3, 18, 21, 24, 27,
3, 30, 33, 36
3, 33, 30, 27,
3, 24, 21, 18,
3, 15, 12, 9, 6, and
3, it's a magic number

The three job sectors

The three job sectors

We can classify jobs into three sectors: primary, secondary and tertiary sector.

People with jobs in the primary sector obtain or process natural products.



What do miners do?
Miners mine rocks and minerals.



What does a fisherman do?
A fisherman catches fish.

 

What do farmers do?
They grow crops or rear animals to sell.



People with jobs in the secondary sector transform natural products into manufactured (man-made) products.

What does a factory worker do?
A factory worker puts the
parts of a product together.

What do craft workers do?
Craft workers make
unique products.

What does a builder do?
A builder helps to build
houses, factories and offices.

People with jobs in the tertiary sector provide (give) a service.

What do hairdressers do?
They cut people's hair.

What does an office worker do?
An office worker helps
organize work in an office.



What do retail assistants do?
Retail assistants sell
products in a store.



What does a taxi driver do?
A taxi driver drives
people in a taxi.

What do tourist guides do?
They show tourists
famous places.

In Spain, about 5% of people work in the primary sector, 30% in the secondary sector and 65 % in the tertiary sector.

Primary sector: arable farming

The farming of crops is called arable farming.

People have been growing crops for thousands of years. Today, science is important in farming because arable farmers need to know what kind of crops will grow well in their soil and how to look after these crops. They also need to know how to sell these crops.

Farms are very important because they give us nearly all the food we eat.

All crops need water to grow, but some crops need just rainwater. We call these crops dry crops. Olive trees, wheat and grapes are dry crops.

Tomatoes, potatoes and rice are crops that need more water than just rainwater to grow well. These are called irrigated crops. Farmers use irrigation to give these crops the exttra water they need.

Ready to live a farmer's life? Create a wonder farm for Jamie on Jamie's Wonder Farm and help the farmer plant a field on Farmxon. Enjoy!

Primary sector: livestock farming

Livestock farming (or pastoral farming) consists of buying and selling farm animals like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. Farmers rear (look after) farm animals for products, such as their meat, milk or skins.

Depending on the animal, we talk about cattle farming (cows), pig farming (pigs), sheep farming (sheep) and poultry farming (chickens, hens).

There are two types of livestock farming: intensive farming and free-range farming.

intensive farming

free-range farming

Intensive farming means that the farmer rears the animals and feeds them in small spaces.
In free-range farming the animals live outside, and they have more space to move and to eat grass.

Check out this cool video and learn how milk is made.

Secondary sector: craft and industry

Manufactured products are made by transforming natural products into other materials. This can be done by craft or by industry.

Craft workers use their hands or simple tools to make manufactured products. Products made by craft workers are unique. This means that each object is different. Craft workers work in workshops or studios.

Industrial workers use machines to make manufactured products. These products are mass-produced. This means that lots of products are made very quickly and they are all the same. Mass-products are usually made in factories, where lots of people work together with machines to make the product.

From natural product to manufactured preoduct: Try this Game.

Tertiary sector: providing a service

Many people have jobs that provide a service. We can classify these jobs into different groups.

People with jobs in education help us learn new things, like teachers or coaches.

People with jobs in health care look after our health and the health of animals, too, like doctors, nurses or vets.

People with jobs in tourism help us when we go on holiday, like tour guides or hotel receptionists.

People with jobs in transport take us from one place to another or transport goods, like pilots or truck drivers.

People with jobs in retail help sell products to customers, like retail assistants or insurance agents.

People with jobs in administration help organize work in offices, like office workers.

People with jobs in safety help us be safe, like police officers or firefighters.
