Egg cells are the female sex cells. Sperm are the male sex cells. Fertilisation occurs when an egg cell and a sperm cell unite and produce a cell called a zygote. The zygote divides again and again and finally becomes an embryo and then a foetus. Birth occurs when the foetus leaves the mother's uterus. The process of giving birth is called labour.

Using a compass
Extension
Date
A compass is a simple instrument used for showing direction and locating the north and other cardinal points. It consists of a small needle that acts like a magnet and always points towards north because of the Earths magnetic field. Aviators, sailors, hunters and campers use compasses when they need to find directions.

Magnetic declination
The Earth is like a huge magnet with two magnetic poles: north and south. The position of these poles is not always the same. It varies slowly over time, and does not always coincide with the geographic poles. If you connect the two geographic poles with an imaginary line, you will see that there is a variation between that line and the line that joins the two magnetic poles. This is called the magnetic declination, . You often see a small angle on maps to show this variation and the direction in which it is produced so adjustments can be made on compasses.

Distinguishing between machines and operating parts
Extension
Date
In order to distinguish a machine from an operating part, we should first review the definition for operating part, simple machine and complex machine. Then we should apply the definition to the mechanism we want to analyse, specifically to its structure and how it works. When we analyse a wheel, we should reach this conclusion: a wheel is an operating part because it does work inside a machine but cannot do work by itself.

Interpreting geographical coordinates
Extension
Date
Geographical coordinates are imaginary lines used to locate any point on the Earth. These lines are called meridians and parallels.
Meridians are the halves of the great circles between the two poles. They
divide the Earth from north to south. The Prime Meridian at Greenwich is the most important meridian. Meridians are also called lines of longitude.
Parallels are the complete circles which divide the Earth horizontally.
The most important is the Equator, which divides the Earth into two hemispheres, north and south. Parallels are also called lines of latitude.

Making a vegetation graph.
Extension
Date
Vegetation graphs show vegetation in a specific area according to the altitude and mountain slope where the different species are found. The vegetation on a mountain varies depending on the altitude since temperature and precipitation also vary. It is also important to consider on which side of the slope a plant species is found since sunny slopes have more sunlight and higher temperatures.

Map scale
Extension
Date
Maps are representations of the real world in a reduced size. They try to be as accurate as possible. The scale is the relationship between the real size of the area and its representation on the map. For example, a scale of 1:10 means that each centimetre on the map is equal to 10 m. of land. The larger the number of the scale, the smaller the territory represented on the map.

Historical maps can show empires, kingdoms, countries and cities that existed in the past, as well as other useful information. We use different colours to represent each empire or kingdom, and small circles to show big cities in that time period. Historical maps have a legend to explain the meaning of the symbols and a scale to determine the size of the areas represented.

Comparing two works of art
Extension
Date
Comparing consists of contrasting the similarities and differences among different images or objects. To compare two works of art, two monuments, etc. we should first examine the common elements and determine the similarities and differences.
Works of art
Each historical period usually has a different predominant artistic style, that is, a group of features that characterises the works of art of that specific period. For example, during the Middle Ages there were two principal artistic styles: the Romanesque and the Gothic. characterised by churches with little height, featuring rounded arches, thick walls, round towers and small windows that let in very little light.

Studying a building

A building can provide a lot of information about the historical period in which it was built and about its function. To study a building, we should identify its most important characteristics and compare them to the characteristics of other buildings from the same period or from a different period. Some characteristics we should look for are: when it was built, what its function was (religious, individual house, political), the main parts of the faade and the interior, as well as decorations including sculptures, stained-glass windows, columns, murals

Classifying sources
Extension
Date
Historians use different types of documents and sources of information to study the past. Some documents come directly from the period being studied and are called primary sources. Others are current documents but refer to the past. These are called secondary sources. For example, a book written by a historian is a secondary source, but a manuscript from the period is a primary source. Documents can be graphics, including paintings, photos, etc.; texts (such as letters or diaries) and objects like coins, medals or stamps from the period.
