The Energy Transfer Multimedia Presentation

Using a Thermometer Animating the Experiment
Mixing Hot and Cold Water Temperature Changes in a Line Graph
The Energy Transfer Experiment Screen Capture 1
Diagramming the Experiment Screen Capture 2

Topic: Screen Capture 2

Learning Objectives:
The students will make a video of the onscreen events of making a line graph in a spreadsheet
and record an accompanying soundtrack.

Previous Lessons:
The students have already written a narrative procedure of the energy transfer experiment;
everyone in the class has already hand-drawn the line graph in their science notebooks; the entire
class has written a narrative procedure, explaining how to use Snapz Pro 2.

Vocabulary: onscreen, utility, soundtrack, videotrack

Procedure:
-The students will record the soundtrack of the movie, using the narratives written by the class;
-The students will duplicate the line graph in an AppleWorks spreadsheet, using Snapz Pro 2 to
record the screen action and the soundtrack;
-The students will save the movie.

(Tip: Have the students record the different parts of the movie separately. If they make a mistake, they will only have to redo a small part. The separate video tracks can be copy/pasted into the final project.)

Follow-up:
The students will add the animation (of the cold water pouring around the hot water film can to
the beginning of the final movie) from the previous lesson.

Materials:
Computers, science notebooks, built-in microphones

Standards:
The student prepares and delivers an individual presentation in which the student:

-shapes information to achieve a particular purpose and to appeal to the interests and background knowledge of audience members

-uses notes or other memory aids to structure the presentation

-engages the audience with appropriate verbal cues and eye contact

-projects a sense of individuality and personality in selecting and organizing content, and in delivery
