Sixth Grade Climate Change Projects - Science and Tech!

Six-grade science students were challenged to demonstrate their learning for an authentic audience. This could be a park ranger, a younger class of students or a group of their peers. Their learning goal was  “I can describe the causes and effects of climate change.” After thoughtful research and a chosen audience, students were able to choose a technology tool that best met their needs to demonstrate their learning. From computer coded animations, to multimedia videos to mock news casts, these student-led projects demonstrated not only their science knowledge, but creativity and technology skills.  All the projects were shared with Mr. Grams through the students' iPads and Google Drive. Below are some examples: Animation coded using Scratch programming: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/embed/144705551/?autostart=false  (click to start) Student News Broadcast using iMovie App: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8k-QUxegDNTX1JNUWtpcVZPUm8/view?usp=sharing ...

Spanish Chatter Pix

Image
What's more fun than animals dressed up and speaking Spanish? Señora Pina's 4th, 5th and 6th grade elementary Spanish students were able to do just this! These students were learning the first person tenses of the Spanish verbs "to be" and "to have". To practice their new learning, the students were able to pick an animal that they wanted to be. They found images of their chosen animal online, saved them to their iPads and imported the images into the app "Chatterpix". This fun app allows students to add their own voice recording to any image to make it "talk". The students spoke as if they were the animal to describe their characteristics in the first person. Check out the video below for a sampling of these projects. Buen trabajo estudiantes de español!
