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. There are three stages of labour: dilation, birth and afterbirth.

Three thousand years ago, the peninsula was inhabited by the Iberians and Celts. In this same period, there was a kingdom called Tartessus. Later came the colonising civilisations: Phoenicians, Greeks and Carthaginians. In the year 218 B.C. the Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula and named it Hispania. The Romans settled in the peninsula and carried out a process called Romanisation in which the inhabitants adopted the language and customs of Rome.

Bones are hard and strong, and cartilage is flexible but very strong too. Cartilage provides flexibility where two bones join together, and covers the ends of bones and joints to protect them and help the body move easily. Some important bones are the vertebrae, femur, ribs, ulna, radius and coccyx. The muscular system is made up of muscles. Muscles are strong and elastic and they work together with the bones. The muscles can carry out involuntary movements, such as the heartbeat and digestion, or voluntary movements, such as walking or eating.


The gemellus, biceps, pectorals, orbicularis oris (eye muscles), deltoid and trapezius are some important muscles.

Using a compass

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 Earth’s 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, δ. 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

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

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.

Map scale

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.

Pie charts are used to show proportions or percentages of a whole. We use a circle divided into sections or sectors. The area of the circle represents the whole, and the area of the sectors represents the parts. For example, the largest sectors will represent the largest percentages.

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

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

• The Romanesque style developed from the 10th century to the 12th century. This style is characterised by churches with little height, featuring rounded arches, thick walls, round towers and small windows that let in very little light.

• The Gothic style developed from the 13th century to the 15th century. Characteristics of this style include cathedrals with pointed arches, tall spires and large stained¯glass windows.

1. Compare the two monuments. Write their characteristics. 1

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.

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 façade and the interior, as well as decorations including sculptures, stained-glass windows, columns, murals…

Date Classifying sources

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. DOCUMENT 2

DOCUMENT 4 DOCUMENT 3 Betty Harris’ job, 1942 I went to work in the mine when I was twenty-three. I pull coal carts and work from six in the morning to six at night. I stop about an hour to eat.

I am very tired when I get home at night; I fall asleep sometimes before I get washed…
