Fifth graders studied a variety of biomes in their science class. The fifth grade science teacher and I coordinated to create a unit, where students would take notes in the classroom using books and then they would use the Encyclopedia Britannica database in the library to research an assigned biome, such as the tundra or desert.
After research was completed, students took their notes and created Animotos using the facts that they had gathered as well as photos from Pics4Learning. This project fulfilled a number of technology standards and it also fulfilled several common core standards, such as conducting research to build knowledge on a topic (W.5.7) and then presenting that information in a multimedia presentation.Here are some wonderful Animotos that the students created.
