Blood Banks: Vital Role in Modern Medicine

Blood bank: A blood bank is a facility that collects, stores, and provides blood for transfusions. Blood banks play a crucial role in modern medicine, as they provide a vital resource for patients who require blood transfusions due to medical conditions, surgeries, and accidents. Blood banks collect blood donations from volunteer donors, which are then screened, processed, and stored for future use. The blood is typically separated into various components, including red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, which can be used to treat different medical conditions.

Educational Challenges in Spain

Nowadays in Spain, there is an educational problem. Most people do not continue with their studies, and 50% of university students leave before finishing their degree. They cannot pay the high tuition fees that the Government has established. Furthermore, there is no job to obtain financial support. To solve this issue, the Government should reduce the price of the tuition fees and make a proper distribution of scholarships because sometimes the Government gives money to people that do not need it. These changes could help many students to continue studying and find a good job to pay for their studies.

What is Mathematical Logical Thinking?

These are the skills students develop associated with logical and mathematical concepts, reasoning, comprehension, and exploration of the world through real proportions, thus strengthening more abstract aspects of thought.

Geometry with Dinosaurs

This activity involves cutting out various geometric shapes with EVA rubber. Children will then create their own dinosaurs using these shapes. Through this activity, they can learn geometric shapes, count the number of elements used in each dinosaur (like the sides of the shapes), and create new geometric shapes from the ones they already have.

Logical Reasoning with Chupa Chups

This activity consists of creating logically structured material and playing with it using... Continue reading "Developing Logical and Mathematical Thinking in Children" »
