Spongelab: Learning through content.

How good are you at chemistry, biology, math, and physics? How much do you remember? Well, I’m going to give you an opportunity to test out your knowledge and to practice English at the same time. I want to recommend you this amazing site.
Spongelab is an online learning platform with science animations, images, videos and games integrated. It is science-based but it could give you an excellent opportunity to practice language. It is necessary and I really recommend you to register (it´s free) and create your account so you will get rewards and credits.
 
 




I created my account and was checking the different options and I really loved Questionaut. It is a journey through strange worlds. Test your knowledge of English, Maths and Science on this magical mission to recover your friend's hat. Questionaut is a beautiful point and click puzzle game where players are tasked with answering questions on the subjects of mathematics, language, psychology and biology.

Come on. Go and try it!

Imperatives


What do these signs mean?


 You might have seen these signs and many more on the streets. These signs are some real life examples of the use of imperatives. Do you want to know what else can you do with the imperatives in English? Well, take a look at the following presentation and find out!




I don´t know how to cook!


One of the things I regret the most about my life is the fact that I never learned how to cook. Now that I´m a mother, I remember all the different occasions in which my mom asked me to pay attention to her cooking. It was a bother and I didn´t want to be involved in anything related to the kitchen. My cooking experiences go as far as preparing a sandwich.

My resolutions this year (and almost every year since then) is to learn how to cook. I started looking for cooking classes, but my schedule is so tight that I expected to find one at midnight; unfortunately, nobody was available. Suddenly, I thought about creating a blog for asking and sharing cooking tips. So why don´t you give me some ideas or easy recipes you love? And I’ll give you mine.

I am going to give you an easy and healthy idea for breakfast, especially if you are in a hurry all the time.  You can do it the night before and enjoy it in the morning.
Oatmeal
 
Ingredients:
5 or 6 tbs of oatmeal.
1 cup of almond milk (vanilla or chocolate)
1 tbs of honey
Some raisins, peanuts, nuts, almonds, and cranberries.
 
1. Pour the almond milk into a bowl.

2. Add the oatmeal.

3. Add the raisins, nuts, and so on.

4. Mix everything

5. Place in the fridge overnight.

6. Enjoy it in the morning!
 

Please share your recipes in the comments and I will follow them to the letter and tell you (in the next posts) how well they went.
