My husband and I had so much fun making this, not to mention how tickled I was to see the finished project in Movie Maker! A few comments:
- I haven't used iMovie, but after wrestling with Movie Maker again, I'd really like to try it.
- I am grateful for Creative Commons such as freeplaymusic.com.
- This video addresses the Utah Core Curriculum for Physics, Standard 1, all of Objective 4.
Enjoy!
What specific lessons or activities would be enhanced by using these technologies and how would you implement them?
For one, this kind of project would be useful for any lesson where you can't physically take your students somewhere, for example a power plant or a laboratory.
Also, I like the idea of asking the students to make a video of how they see Physics in the real world. This kind of project addresses ILO two and three: "Manifest science interests and attitudes" and "Understand important science concepts and principles."
Zephne, great job! This is an excellent video!
ReplyDeleteI loved it, and I don't like physics... so that's saying a lot. :) You really made the material easy to understand (I thought) by bringing in real world applications.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Zephne.One thing that could have improved your video would have been to have added some captions to summarize the laws. For example Sum of Forces = Mass X Acceleration. Other than that, great job.
ReplyDeleteZephne, I loved how you connected physics principles to real life. That is for sure going to get students to see how applicable physics is. I could see you then asking students to make a video of a different example of phsics in real life!
