4. Experiment Video Project
Design your own experiment and make a video presentation
MODIFICATION
Technology allows for
significant task redesign.
You will work with a partner and create your own experiment.
In your experiment, you must identify the steps of scientific method and the following parts – control, independent variable, dependent variable, and constants.
You will perform the experiment at home.
The experiment must be videoed using your smart phones/device, such as iPhone or iPad. If you do not have access to this at home, you may come to my classroom come before school, RTI, or after school to perform your experiment and video with an iPad.
You will then make a video presentation of your experiment using iMovie, Animoto, or Powtoon. This presentation must include the identification of the parts of the experiment and scientific method listed in step 2 of these directions.
This task uses:
-smart phone or device
-iMovie or Animoto or Powtoon
Learning Objective(s):
Write a testable question or hypothesis when given a topic (SI-H-A1). Plan and record step-by- step procedures for a valid investigation, select equipment and materials, and identify variables and controls (SI-H-A2)
