Written by 3ºA students in cooperative writing
On Thursday, February 22 2018 the Bilingual groups of
3ºESO went on a trip to Valladolid with our Science teacher Ignacio de Blas to
visit the Science Museum.
There were several remarkable exhibitions there.

NUTRITION, VITAL IMPULSE
The first thing we saw was a video about food in the
different periods of history. There was a puzzle which showed the percentage of
water in some foods and in the human body. You could also smell different foods
and try to guess what each one was. Besides, there were some computers showing
the typical dishes of some countries, as well as information about the calories
and nutrients in each food. Playing with interactive games, we also learnt
about the food pyramid and the diseases we can get if we don’t have a proper
diet.
THE
TREASURES OF TUTANKHAMUN
In 1928 Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun
in the Valley of the Kings. This archaeologist found the pharaoh’s
personal objects by digging a hole in the wall of the burial chamber.
THE PLANETARIUM: Energy for Life
In the Planetarium, we saw an audiovisual presentation
in English about renewable and non-renewable energies and the impact they
cause. The resources have evolved from the fire mainly used in pre-history to
fossil fuels and coal used nowadays. These resources can cause a severe harm in the
environment, producing global warming and the greenhouse effect. Therefore, we
need to find new renewable energies such as wind power.
