Students from 5th grade B participated in an interdisciplinary learning experience focused on understanding how living organisms are structured, exploring the relationship between cells and tissues through a collaborative and hands-on approach.
The session took place during the Natural Science class, part of the Elementary Department, led by Ms. Ornella Concha, and was supported by the English Immersion Program, led by Mr. Marcos Riveros. With this class, the cycle of activities carried out across all 5th grade levels comes to a close, allowing every group to engage with this shared learning experience.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this session was the active participation of Rocío Oyarzúa, student from 2nd grade A, Senior Area, who led the introductory explanation in English. Through her presentation, key concepts such as cells, tissues, and how cells work together were introduced in a clear and engaging way, creating a meaningful connection between students from different levels.
Throughout the activity, students explored how individual cells function as part of a larger system. As part of this process, each student designed and decorated their own cell, bringing creativity into the learning experience and expressing their personality through their work. This moment added a unique and engaging dimension to the activity, making each contribution distinct.
The session then moved into a collective stage, where all individual cells were brought together to represent the class as a tissue, reinforcing the idea that every part plays a role in the functioning of a whole.
To close the experience, students engaged in a guided reflection, connecting the scientific concept with their own classroom reality. Through discussion, they explored how collaboration, responsibility, and participation contribute to the success of a group, drawing parallels between biological systems and their own learning environment.
This final session not only reinforced key scientific concepts, but also highlighted the value of shared learning experiences across the grade level, where each class contributes to a broader understanding of science through collaboration and creativity.
