=TWT 2012 - Session 42: Movie Based Lab Activities=

Scott Rubin srubin@berkeleycarroll.org Upper School Science Chair Berkeley Carroll School Grades 5-12 Subject areas: Science Level of experience recommended: Basic

//It's difficult to get good results for some Physics experiments because the action happens too fas;, there isn't enough space for everyone to have access to the observation;, or there simply isn't enough equipment. One way to improve the learning experience is to film the action (falling marble, falling coffee filter, etc.), slow the motion on an application like iMovie, and have the students take their data from the video. That way, they've seen the live action version but can analyze the digital version for the meaningful data. //

//After taking this workshop, participants will be able to construct a meaningful learning experience in which a practical activity is observed in real time and analyzed digitally. //

Instructions for attendees: No equipment required.
