This year for our science research unit, we decided to crank it up a notch! Rather than just filling out a research booklet or making a PowerPoint, we wanted to use the iPads for several things. I will say, this has been a favorite so far!
Each student was given a research booklet which provided an outline of all the information they needed to find. They spent several days researching on our classroom Macs and as well as several iPads. After they were finished researching, they were asked to make a list of the ten most important words that they felt described their animal.
Once their had their list, they used Word Foto on the iPad to create a collage to describe their animals.
Once the Word Foto was complete, they were given the next part of the project. They were asked to write an expository paragraph about their animal. When they were ready, they imported their picture into ChatterPix and created their final project. They LOVED how they turned out!
