In this class we have worked in our project in groups. So, we have talked in jipsy meet and we have organized the ideas, the posts, and the main things that we want to put in each post.
Also, we have thought that we want to share posts twice a week (Wednesday and Friday).

Irene also told us to prepare for next day (on Wednesday), a short presentation of our project to explain it to our mates.

Today we have started virtual classes, using an app which is Zoom. We had a good time and this was the first time using this method, and it was not bad! 

First of all, we have organized the next days and we have talked about the project that we must do. 

Irene has told us to go to other app and try to discuss in groups and review the ideas of the project because with this circumstances we will need to change some things. So, we have made groups in ´jipsy meet', with the name of our group, and Irene has been coming to each group to talk with us. 

We decided to do all our visual campaign virtually, only using Instagram and an app to make posters. 

We have had to build all the ideas again because we can no longer do what we wanted, but we hope to do it well.

Today, we talked about the project. In groups, we have filled a paper and we have written all the details or ideas about our project. We also had to specify the materials and budget for the project to the team in charge. 

Then, we have continued with the lesson, talking about air pressure. The air is made of small particles that collides with other particles or hit with the surface. Air pressure is measure with a barometer. We can make a barometer if we want, like a voluntary activity, and upload it to the virtual campus. 

We also talked about humidity, which is measure by a hygrometer, and is the it is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity can be measure in an absolute or relative way. 

When temperature increases the amount of water vapor increases as well. On the other hand, we talked about wind, which is the horizontal movement of the air.

Today, we continue with the activity of the other day, in which we share the information that we collect about the colors of the sky.

Also, group by group we had to explain the main ideas of our topic in front of the rest of the class. To do so, in our group, each spokesperson of the different three groups went out to the blackboard to explain our topic. Then, the rest of the groups with their topics did the same, so we listened to their main ideas. One group talked about the Ozone layer, which is a layer that protect us from the ultraviolet rays. Ozone used to be in some products like paints, cosmetics.. but then after the Montreal protocol, we eliminated then from all our products.

We also talked about weather, latitude and longitude. Latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitude only determines when is day, night, morning...Latitude is going to be more important than longitude.

To conclude, we have talked about air temperature, and concepts like daily temperature range, daily mean temperature, annual mean temperature and annual temperature range.
Regarding this, we can talk about a few factors that changes temperatures: differential heating of land and water, ocean currents, altitude, geographic position and clouds. Altitude changes temperature, the higher the altitude the lower the temperatures. Albedo is the amount of light that is reflected. Ice has a greater albedo than land. Clouds also work like a blanket which maintain the earth temperatures.
