(Vys) Ciencia Pokémon. IES La Campiña POKECIENCIA CIENCIA POKÉMON Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017 Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017. Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña TÍTULO DEL PROYECTO: CIENCIA POKÉMON Centro educativo: IES La Campiña Coordinador: Carlos Lobato Fernández Temática: Libre Objetivos y justificación: El objetivo principal de este proyecto es divulgar Ciencia, básicamente Biología, usando para ello una herramienta aparentemente poco didáctica, pero muy cercana, apropiada, conocida y muy de moda actualmente, como es el juego Pokémon Go, cualquiera de los videojuegos de Pokémon o la serie de animación del mismo nombre. Muchos alumnos de Secundaria e incluso adultos juegan, y los niños más pequeños ven la serie. De este modo, usando la mecánica, los personajes y la tecnología de Pokémon Go, podemos divulgar, popularizar, transmitir y facilitar la comunicación de conceptos básicos, más o menos complejos. La justificación la encontramos en que parte de la información que los alumnos se encargarán de transmitir al público asistente a la Feria de la Ciencia, forma parte del currículum con el que están trabajando casi desde el principio de curso desde las diversas áreas, aunque básicamente desde la materia de Biología y Geología. Así mismo el proyecto será una buena forma de mejorar ciertas competencias clave, sobre todo la Competencia en Matemáticas, Ciencia y Tecnología (la propia naturaleza del proyecto englobado en la materia Biología y Geología, y los contenidos transversales de Matemáticas, Física, Geología y Química que se abordarán), la Competencia digital (Elaboración de todos los materiales audiovisuales necesarios y búsqueda selectiva de información), la competencia Aprender a aprender (En los ámbitos de la coordinación y el trabajo cooperativo, la comunicación oral y audiovisual), la Competencia en comunicación lingüística (divulgación y comunicación oral y audiovisual de la Ciencia), y las Competencias sociales y cívicas (implicación personal en un proyecto y transmisión de información científica, corrección, desarrollo personal y participación en un evento científico). COMPETENCIAS CLAVES PRINCIPALES CCL à Competencia en comunicación lingüística. CMCT à Competencia en matemáticas, ciencia y tecnología CD à Competencia digital CAA à Competencia aprender a aprender CSC à Competencias sociales y cívicas Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017. Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña Relación de actividades. La relación de actividades propuestas inicialmente ha ido variando desde el primer borrador o propuesta que comunicamos hasta la actualidad, aunque la idea base sigue siendo la misma. De esta manera, las diferentes actividades que estarán repartidas por el stand, serán las siguientes: Actividad 1. Poké-Biología. Comunicación científica en formato póster. Se expondrán en las paredes del stand repartidos en distintos espacios cuatro poster con formato basado en las comunicaciones científicas (como congresos de Medicina) centrados en la explicación de varios conceptos biológicos importantes, tomando como excusa los seres que habitan el mundo Pokémon. Los temas tratados en cada uno de los pósters son: - Cartel 1. ADAPTACIONES. Partiendo de la evolución divergente del pokémon-zorro Eevee en diferentes Pokémon con adaptaciones distintas, explicaremos las adaptaciones de algunos animales del mismo tipo a diferentes medios en el mundo real, centrándonos en las diferentes especies y variedades de zorros que habitan en nuestro planeta. Se complementará esta información con otros representantes de tipo zorro del mundo Pokémon (Vulpix, Ninetales, formas de Alola…) - Cartel 2. EVOLUCIÓN. Este cartel servirá para explicar y aclarar un término ampliamente usado en el mundo Pokémon, pero de forma incorrecta o que no se corresponde totalmente con el funcionamiento de la evolución en el mundo real. Se explicarán mecanismos básicos de la evolución en el mundo real y se ejemplificará con árboles genealógicos representados con seres Pokémon, pero basados en los seres vivos reales. - Cartel 3. CLASIFICACIÓN Y TAXONOMÍA. Este cartel pretende explicar el sistema de clasificación que usamos para clasificar la biodiversidad de nuestro planeta, basado en categorías taxonómicas, usando como base la clasificación de los Pokémon, rehaciéndola para que se ajuste a la realidad. Se explican las bases de la nomenclatura binomial de los seres vivos también en dicho cartel. - Cartel 4. BIOELECTRICIDAD. Centrado en el Pokémon Pikachu se explican las características de éste y la producción de descargas eléctricas por parte de un ser vivo a partir de los datos estudiados en la anguila eléctrica que han sido extrapolados al Pokémon. Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017. Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña Actividad 2. Poké-Física y Poké-Matemáticas. - Cartel 5. MATEMÁTICAS Y FÍSICA DE LAS POKÉBOLAS. Se explicarán algunas fórmulas matemáticas y algunos conceptos básicos de tiro parabólico y conservación de la energía usando la mecánica del juego de lanzamiento de bolas para capturar Pokémon, así como la propia estructura de dichas bolas. - Interactivo 1. JUEGOS VARIOS. Se harán juegos basados en cálculos en papel extrapolables al videojuego Pokémon Go, para asegurar las capturas. Se proponen juegos sencillos en un rincón del stand relacionados con el lanzamiento de bolas desde el punto de vista físico. (por determinar) Actividad 3. Fichas de divulgación. - Interactivo 2. Fichas. A lo largo de los diversos rincones del stand, contaremos con una serie de fichas divulgativas y explicativas, que servirán de referencia al alumnado participante para explicar a pequeños grupos de personas, la base biológica o geológica que hay detrás de algunos conocidos Pokémon. En un principio se contempla recoger todos los de tipo Planta, todos los de tipo Fuego, y probablemente todos los de tipo Agua. - Interactivo 3. Juego infantil. Pensado para los niños más pequeños que se acerquen al stand habrá unas fichas para colorear sobre algunos Pokémon, en los que los niños podrán dar color a estos personajes a la vez que aprenden información básica de la inspiración real de cada uno de ellos, con frases cortas, palabras o mensajes tipo ¿sabías que…? Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017. Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña - Interactivo 4. Concurso. Se establecerán las bases de un concurso para aquellas personas que tengan el juego Pokemón Go, en el que se recibirán correos electrónicos y/o fotografías en Facebook, Twitter o Instagram, para que los visitantes puedan participar enviando las mejores capturas de cada uno de los días, identificadas con algún ser vivo real o concepto biológico de los que se explican en el stand, para entrar en el sorteo entre los mejores de cada día o de los tres días, de un regalo aún por determinar. Para ello se crearán una cuenta de Facebook, otra de Twitter y otra de Instagram, aún por hacer y que se anunciará convenientemente, y a la que se irán subiendo las distintas participaciones, así como las comunicaciones de los premiados y diversas informaciones y anuncios relacionados con el stand. Actividad 4. FIGURAS Se distribuirán por el stand cuatro figuras realizadas por los alumnos participantes de Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle y Bulbasaur, que nos servirán para un doble propósito de explicación sobre la figura y recompensa final del stand. - A partir de la figura de Pikachu se explicará la BIOELECTRICIDAD, complementando al cartel anteriormente mencionado. - A partir de la figura de Charmander se explicará la BIOLUMINISCENCIA en algunos seres vivos, como las luciérnagas, tanto desde el punto de vista químico como biológico. - A partir de la figura de Squirtle se explicará el sofisticado mecanismo de DEPREDACIÓN usado por el pez arquero para capturar presas que están fuera del agua estando él dentro. Proyecto definitivo Feria de la Ciencia 2017. Alumnos de Ciencia de 1º de Bachillerato A-B IES La Campiña - A partir de la figura de Bulbasaur se explicará la SIMBIOSIS entre especies animales y vegetales y comentaremos los extraordinarios ejemplos de ello que encontramos en el mundo real. METODOLOGÍA. La metodología de trabajo en todo momento y en todas las fases del proyecto ha sido colaborativa, aportando todos los alumnos en todos los apartados del proyecto, siempre con la orientación y dirección del profesor coordinador. Para que el trabajo fuera más efectivo dividimos a los alumnos en grupos desde el principio, basándonos en los grupos que ya se habían formado desde el principio de curso para otras tareas y que han venido funcionando bien desde entonces. Para conseguir una mayor implicación de los alumnos en el proyecto desde casi el principio se empezó a trabajar con un listado de científicos y científicas de los cuales cada alumno eligió a uno, que pasaría a ser parte de su “avatar” en el videojuego Pokemon Go, que todos se descargaron en sus teléfonos móviles. El nombre elegido por cada uno pasa a unirse con el suyo, y conlleva la búsqueda de información y la redacción de una pequeña biografía del científico o científica elegido, para elaborar un “carnet de entrenador Pokémon” que lucirán en la feria y que usarán para presentarse. En esa presentación tendrán que hacer mención al científico en el que se basan y transmitir a los visitantes ese resumen de la información. El listado de alumnos participante y sus avatares es el siguiente. CIENTÍFICO/A ALUMNO/A NOMBRE ENTRENADOR/A 1. Ada Lovelace María González MariaLovelace 2. Alexander Fleming Daniel Cabrera Daniel1Fleming 3. Alfred Wallace Antonio Ruiz WallaceAJ 4. Barbara McClintock Lourdes Rueda LourMcClintock 5. Carl Sagan David Borrego DavidCarlSagan 6.
