Facts about Volcanoes

What is a Volcano?
A volcano is a landform (usually a mountain) where molten rock erupts through the surface of the planet.
In simple terms a volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock (magma) below the surface of the earth. It is a hole in the Earth from which molten rock and gas erupt.

Did you know?
The name "volcano" has its origin from the name of Vulcan, a god of fire in Roman mythology.
As pressure in the molten rock builds up it needs to escape somewhere. So it forces its way up “fissures” which are narrow cracks in the earths crust. Once the magma erupts through the earth’s surface it’s called lava.

What is the difference between lava and Magma?
Magma is liquid rock inside a volcano.
Lava is liquid rock (magma) that flows out of a volcano. Fresh lava ranges from 1,300° to 2,200° F (700° to 1,200° C) in temperature and glows red hot to white hot as it flows.

How many volcanoes are there in the world?
There are around 1510 'active' volcanoes in the world. We currently know of 80 or more which are under the oceans.

What are the three layers the Earth is made of?
1.Crust
The crust is the outer layer of Earth. It is about 18 miles thick. It is the part we live on.
2.Mantle
The second layer is called the mantle. It is about 1,800 miles thick.
3.Core
The inner layer is called the core.

What causes volcanoes to erupt?
The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move.
Between the Earth's crust and the mantle is a substance called magma which is made of rock and gases.
When two plates collide, one section slides on top of the other, the one beneath is pushed down. Magma is squeezed up between two plates.

Did you know?
Volcanoes are like giant safety valves that release the pressure that builds up inside the Earth.

When magma erupts, what is it called?
hen magma erupts through the earth's surface it is called lava

What is the Ring of Fire?
Over half of the world’s volcanoes arise in a belt around the Pacific Ocean called the Ring of Fire.

CENTRO DE CIENCIAS Y ARTE EXPLORA

EXPLORA es el primer Centro Interactivo de Ciencias y Arte en Panamá. Es un lugar donde niños y adolescentes podrán aprender, estimular y fomentar su espí­ritu de investigación utilizando como herramienta principal el juego y la diversión de una forma innovadora.

El centro cuenta con más de 60 exhibiciones interactivas distribuidas en 6 salas de exhibición:

Tierra Viviente ““ Muestra la interdependencia entre los diferentes componentes de los ecosistemas naturales y humanos para despertar el compromiso hacia la conservación del medio ambiente. La Máquina Maravillosa – Presenta diferentes estructuras del cuerpo humano y su interacción para el funcionamiento de esta máquina maravillosa y resaltar la importancia de los buenos hábitos para mantener la salud. Tecnologí­a y Comunicación – Muestra los principios de la energí­a y las comunicaciones, para entender y disfrutar los avances tecnológicos. La Tierra en Acción – Presenta los conceptos cientí­ficos que nos acercan a descubrir el origen del Universo, y la fuerza de gravedad para entender que el planeta Tierra es un cuerpo dinámico. El Universo Matemático – Reta a los niños y niñas a jugar con las formas, de manera que tengan un acercamiento a la geometrí­a y una comprensión del pensamiento matemático. Panamá Somos Todos – Resalta que el futuro de nuestro paí­s dependerá de sus niños, niñas y jóvenes formados en el marco del cumplimiento de sus derechos y deberes. Asimismo, muestra el desarrollo de Panamá en infraestructuras y ví­as de comunicación, para despertar un sentido de identidad y pertenencia.

DINOSAURS EXHIBITION IN PANAMA

Dinosaurios Mundo Jurasico, una excitante exposición donde los asistentes podrán experimentar cómo se mueven, respiran y rugen estos gigantescos animales que desaparecieron de la tierra hace más de 65 millones de años. Los dinosaurios hechos a escala real, son robotizados y se activan con censores de movimiento. El recorrido, que se puede realizar junto con un guía del museo, cuenta con 30 dinosaurios y cada especie tiene una descripción sobre su anatomía, sus características y dimensiones, como también detalle de los lugares donde fueron hallados los restos que han llevado a paleontólogos a dichas conclusiones.
Como parte de la exhibición, los niños podrán fijar los conceptos aprendidos en el recorrido en una área interactiva donde dibujaran a sus “dinos” favoritos, también jugarán a ser paleontólogos buscando réplicas de restos fósiles en el área de excavación y presenciaran en el novedoso cine 3D la historia del universo desde la conocida teoría del “Big Bang” hasta nuestros días. Por un pequeño costo adicional podrán llevar un recuerdo fotográfico dentro de un enorme huevo de dinosaurio o con un TRex, como también pasearse en el lomo de un ankylosaurus.
Dinosaurios Mundo Jurasico resulta una apasionante oportunidad para que todas las familias de Panamá compartan y se diviertan juntos, recorriendo las distintas eras geológicas, conociendo la enorme variedad de dinosaurios que existieron, por qué se expandieron, porqué reinaron y porqué desaparecieron.
El Museo Reina Torres de Arauz esta localizado en el camino a Albrook al frente del un The Run, la exhibición esta abierta de martes a domingo de 10am a 8pm, los boletos están a la venta a través de ticketplus en Farmacias Metros, Tiendas Digicel, Extreme Planet y Hometek y en la taquilla del Museo.

GETTING READY TO CELEBRATE THE EARTH'S DAY AT AIPCV

Students from fouth, fifth and sixth grades are getting ready to celebrate the Earth's Day. Among the pre-activities are: planning bringing posters, drawing and coloring pictures, banners, bulletin boards, etc.

Be part of the great celebration and lets say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to our home, THE EARTH.

The Best Project about Energy

Last week 6B had been delivering oral presentations about different types of energy. There were excellent projects like Angelie's and Anna's one. Congratulations students!

4TH Recycling Campaign

Fourth grade had been working really hard on their recycling project. They are collecting papers and tetrapac containers all across the school. In addition, they are informing students about the importance of recycling raw materials and ways to take care of our Earth "Our Home".

4TH GRADE B/ THE TERRARIUMS WERE AMAZING!

4B/AIPCV/2011

It was a great pleasure to enjoy the terrariums made by students with the help of their parents for the Science Class. Students could understand in an easy way terms related to the study of ECOSYSTEMS like population, community, habitat, producers, consumers, and dicomposers.
CONGRATULATIONS STUDENTS!

SCIENCE CLUB

AIPCV/SCIENCE CLUB/ 2011

The benefits of running a science club

Research shows that 'Out of School Hours Learning' (often known as OSHL, OSL or OOSHL) or 'Study Support' is widely recognised to lead to improvements in school performance. This can manifest as improved motivation and a positive impact on attitudes. In addition, in one study in Northern Ireland 84% of post-primary principals said that it contributed to raised attainment.

There are benefits for:

Pupils

•Practice at the process skills needed in science.


•Increased opportunity to develop and practice thinking, speaking and listening skills.


•Opportunities to experience a wider range of science topics, hence broadening their enthusiasm for science.
BE PART OF OUR TEAM AND GET READY TO LIVE THE EXPERIENCE OF SCIENCE.
