Our elementary school STEAM Team implemented an exciting Heat Transfer unit with our fifth grade students in May. Students investigated the topics of radiation, conduction and convection with a series of experiments and observations to help them gain a better understanding of heat transfer. Over three afternoons, students rotated through twelve stations designed to be hands-on investigative experiences and experiments. Each small group of students recorded their thinking and learning using an iPad as their Lab Notebook. In it they documented the experiences with videos and photos and took notes using text, labels and voice recording. One fifth grader commented that "I thought it was great because I am a hands-on learner and there was lots of that. This lab idea really "up-ed" my learning! It was a very fun experience to see science through all the stations and understand it better."
I love creating videos to use as introductions for assignments and projects. They are a great way to get kids excited, and provide both teachers and students with instructions and guidelines that they can refer back to whenever they need to. This video did just that. The kids love seeing an avatar instead of their teachers. I created this video with Tellegami, iMovie and Book Creator for this video.
