STEAM night is next week and 5th graders are busy working on Multi-media presentations. They had to choose a scientist to research and then produce a Google Slide Presentation (1 slide). On the slide they are required to have 3 photographs of the scientist or their work, three interesting facts about the scientist, a list of their accomplishments with dates, and active link to a website about the scientist (no higher than a 3rd grade level), and a 30 sec-2 minute embedded student created video. The videos we've seen so far are slideshows, green screened videos, interviews, and stop motion. A couple students have connected a paper copy of their presentation to a computer program they have written in scratch. When someone walks up to the presentation they can touch certain spots and see an animation on a computer screen or hear information about the scientist. Can't wait to see the final products - more photos and information coming! Just wanted to let you know that the STEAMworks lab is being used during class, recess, and advisory to create some of the videos and students love having the space, the green screen and the ipads available to them! Thanks again to the grant and the support of PTA!
