How to Make a Complete Circuit

Show what you know about how to make a complete circuit. Use the iPads and Explain Everything to create a short movie on how to create a complete circuit to light up a bulb. You may go to Pixabay to gather pictures for your materials. Include labels for your objects on the materials page. Label the critical contact points on your final slide. You can also demonstrate how the electrons flow with your laser tool. Use the storyboard to plan out your project.

Marionette STEAM Project

We will begin our research in the library on Newton’s Laws in preparation for the creation of a marionette in art class which will demonstrate those laws. After the marionette is built, we will use the iPads and the app Explain Everything to show what you learned and to demonstrate how the movement of the marionette demonstrates Newton’s Laws. Use the resources below to start your research.

Explorer Smashup

We will begin our explorer projects using the iPads. Use the Explorer Wiki Resources to help you.
1. Research your explorer and include the following information:

a. Why he explored
b. Who sponsored him
c. Where he traveled
d. How did he treat the Native people
e. What was accomplishments

2. Write the script and the bibliography.

3. Gather public domain images or creative common images for your script and save to the Camera Roll.

We will Use Explain Everything for your bibliography, Drawing Pad to create a green screen, Tellagami for your avatar speaking your script, and Green Screen to put your images and avatar together. See my sample below.

A Complete Circuit

Show what you know about how to make a complete circuit. Use the iPads and Explain Everything to create a short video on how to create a complete circuit to light up a bulb. You may go online to gather pictures for your materials. Include labels for your objects on the materials page. Label the critical contact points on your final slide. You can also demonstrate how the electrons flow with your laser tool. Use the storyboard to plan out your project.

Geometry in the Real World

Today Mrs. Stewart’s and Ms. O’Brien’s class will work collaboratively in creating a geometry book using the iPads. You will work with your learning buddy to

  1. Travel around the school in search of geometric shapes that can be found in everyday items and photograph them using your iPad.
  2. Fill out the storyboard for your book including the name of the shape and the properties of the shape.
  3. Use Explain Everything to put together your book, outlining the shape in your photograph and recording your script onto each of the pages, complete with annotations.

Field Trip Movie

Let’s make a movie based on your field trip to Ward’s Berry Farm! Today we will use the app Drawing Pad to create a picture of something you learned about at the farm. We will put all the pictures in the app Explain Everything and record our voices describing our picture. Finally we will turn all our slides into a movie for all to enjoy.

State Regions Project

You will work in groups to learn about the climate, population, native people, economy, land and waterway, natural resources, animals and plants of a USA region. Below are the steps you must complete to create a movie which will serve as a teaching tool for all the groups.

  1. Research your region with your teammates. Use the Research Guide and sites on our Regions wiki.
  2. Use the storyboard guide to create a script based upon your research.
  3. Use the iPads to collect the pictures you need for your movie from public domain sites listed on the wiki.
  4. Use Explain Everything and Skitch to put together your movie. Use screencasting techniques when it helps to explain your information.
