The 8th Grade Science students expanded their understanding of meiosis by creating a model of the main stages of the process. Students had to use motion tweens to create the movement of the chromosomes and chromatids and shape tweens to simulate the deformation of the cell. They also created symbols to represent the chromosomes and chromatids, which they reused in different scenes of the animation. Students who finished early had the option of adding navigation buttons for extra credit. Four visits to the lab were necessary to complete the lesson.
Welcome to the MS Computer Lab Blog!
The objective of our blog is to share information about how we integrate our technology curriculum into the subject area curriculum. The foundation of this effort is the methodology of team teaching the lessons with the Middle School subject area teachers. Each post describes a particular lesson, the software used, some of the skills that were targeted, and the number of days that were spent in the lab.
