Question for the Week of March 30

Our AMSTI science modules are arriving this week. How can we use our new cameras in some of our lesson plans with these modules? Please feel free to post any pictures or projects to this blog. Please make sure you are reading everyone's comments. If you want to respond to one another's comments that would be great.

    In the second grade module, we will be learning about solids and liquids. We can take pictures of our experiments. I can't remember if it in actually a lesson in the module, but melting a piece of ice and taking a picture of the water in all three stages would be fun for the students. We can do this in small groups with each table. We can even time the melting and see how long the ice would take to change from a solid to a liquid. (Get a little math in there!). There will be many opportunities to use our new cameras!

    I am very excited about the new science modules coming. I would like to use the cameras to make a game. The game "Name that State" would have students look at the pictures of different states of matter and classify them. They would have to tell one of its properities also. You could use the cameras for groups to make books for the different states of matter. Compile a class book of the experiments that are done in class for this unit and let the students write the text to go along with the pictures.
    I know that there will be many other opportunities to use the cameras in the classroom. Can't wait!!

    Our students always want to tell or show us what they have learned or something new that they observed during these modules, so they could pass the camera around from group to group and take pictures that they want to share with the class. In the Solids and liquids lesson where they make their tower, they can take a picture of their tower. Then you can have them measure how tall the tower is and graph the measurements of the towers and use the pictures as a label for the graph.
