Dragón de Komodo

Este es un post especial para los chicos de segundo grado. Estuvimos conversando sobre los dragones, los de fantasía y los verdaderos. Acá les dejo entonces un video para que conozcan a un Dragón que sí existe: el Dragón de Komodo, y un link a una página con mucha información útil sobre este reptil gigante: http://bioenciclopedia.com/dragon-de-komodo/

The ugliest animal in the world.

Hey kids! I recently found out about the blob fish, the infamous ugliest creature in the world. If you want to find out why he might not be as ugly as we think, just watch this great video. Keep enjoying the great wonders of our world :)

Why is Pluto not a planet?

Ahh...this question has been going round and round in my head ever since i heard Pluto was not considered a planet anymore: WHY????
You see, when i first studied the solar system in school i had learnt a really nice trick to remember all the planets´names: My(M) very (V) educated (E) mother (M) just (J) served (S) us (U) nine (N) pizzas (P)! meaning: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and...PLUTO!
Now, since 2006 Pluto´s status has changed to Dwarf planet. Here is a nice video to help you and me understand why. BTW, if the language proves to be a little difficult you can watch it with subtitles.
Enjoy!

Mapas para descargar.

Hola chicos. Les dejo un link para aquellos olvidadizos que a veces no traen los mapas al cole. Se trata de una buena iniciativa del instituto geográfico nacional, quien pone a nuestra disposición en su página web una montaña de mapas para descargar de manera gratuita.
