Working in the lab. How to move around and how to talk about preparing solutions
Once you all know the name of all the lab equipment (The bilingual lab), what about learning
how to talk about the actions you may carry out in the lab? Here you
have a few, just to begin with:
Besides, one of the main activities students have to deal with in their first days in the Science lab is to prepare solutions. It may be handy to know some expressions related to it, so that students can communicate in proper english and know what they mean.
Scientific method in the bilingual class
How could you engage your students learning of Science and at the same time using of english?
Learning about the Scientific method by designing experiments to test observations and using English grammar to talk about them (conditionals and structures of possibility, probability and certainty) might be an option. Just in case you want to try, here I leave you an example of how to integrate the learning of the Scientific method stages with english languge. Below it, a templeat for your students to plan for their own experiments. Enjoy it!

The bilingual lab
If you are to teach in English also in the Science lab, have a look at these resources I have prepared to help you and your students to learn the names of the different parts of the lab and material.
It may be interesting to engage your students into defining what the main use of every one of these materials is, and it would be sensible to provide them with some scaffolding such as the following:
An Integrated Didactic CLIL Unit
Today I just came accross an Integrated didaced Unit I made long time ago for a collaboration with the Ministry of Education. It was intended for 3º ESO students and deals with the topic of health and disease. Hope you can find it interesting and leave you here the link to the student's material.
You can also get the teacher's material if you register and follow my blog. I promise to create and publish more interesting material.
Learning mineral properties- A superhero comic
Here a leave you a templete I created to carry out a Project on Superheros to learn about minerals and their properties.
Creating games
Sometimes the best way to learn content in a foreign language is having fun by playing a game. To game doesn't mean to lose time or stop learning. Students, while playing, can learn much more than when listening quietly to their teacher. Learning may be much more significant when students are 100% into it, as they are when they have fun with it.
A veces la mejor manera para aprender contenido en una lengua extranjera es divirtiendose mediante el juego. Jugar no significa perder el tiempo odejar de aprender. Los estudiantes, mientras juegan, pueden aprender mucho más que cuando escuchan en silencio a su profesor. El aprendizaje puede ser mucho más significativo si los estudiantes están al 100%, como cuando se divierten.
I post here a game I made to learn about vertebrates that do not follow all the rules. They can play in small groups. One student gets a card, the others make questions to be answered with yes or no.
Is it a reptile/ bird/ mammal.....?
Does it have fur/ feathers/ scales....?
Does it breathre through lungs/gills/skin...?
Does it live on land/ in water...?
Does it have flippers/legs/ wings....?
Does it have internal/ external fertilization?
.............................
Students take note of all the answers and try to guess the animal. At the same time they are learning about these animals, they are speaking in english and practising questioning without realising.
Cualgo aquí un juego que hice para aprender sobre vertebrados que no siguen las reglas. Puede jugarse en pequeños grupos. Un alumnos coge una tarjeta, los otros le hacen preguntas para ser respondidas con sí o no.
Is it a reptile/ bird/ mammal.....?
Does it have fur/ feathers/ scales....?
Does it breathre through lungs/gills/skin...?
Does it live on land/ in water...?
Does it have flippers/legs/ wings....?
Does it have internal/ external fertilization?
.............................
Los estudiantes toman nota de las respuestas y tratan de adivinar el animal. Al mismo tiempo queestán aprendiendo sobre estos animales, están hablando en inglés y practicando la interrogación sin darse cuenta.
The content that I taught my pupils before playing this game is in procomun:
El contenido que enseñé a mis alumnos antes de jugar este juego está en procomún:
CLIL activities in procomún / actividades CLIL in procomún
Before taking the resolution to create this CLIL blog, I had already decided to share some of my knowledge and materials through the procomún platform. Sharing knowledge is the best way to learn and work together, and is what we want our students to do between them, don't we? Here I leave you the link to my materials in Procomún. Hope you can find them useful!
Antes de decidir crear este blog AICLE, ya había decidido compartir parte de mi conocimiento y materiales a través de la plataforma procomún. Compartir conocimiento es el mejor método para aprender y trabajar juntos, y es lo que queremos que nuestros alumnos hagan entre ellos, ¿no? Aquí os dejo el link a mis materiales en procomún. ¡Espero que los encontreis útiles!

My first book / Mi primer libro
After more than 6 years of CLIL teaching experience, I wanted to move an step forward, and I decided to publish my first CLIL Biology Book for 1º ESO, which I have both written and illustrated. More than a book, it is a workbook filled with all kinds of different engaging CLIL activities. A book to learn both content and language at the same time, and what is most important to enjoy the process of learning.
Tras 6 años de experiencia en docencia AICLE, quería ir un paso más allá, y decidí publicar mi primer libro AICLE de Biología para 1º ESO, el cual he escrito e ilustrado. Más que un libro, es un cuadernillo lleno de actividades AICLE atractivas. Un libro para aprender ambos, contenido y lengua al mismo tiempo, y lo que es más importante, para disfrutar del proceso de aprendizaje.
