The 2nd graders at Longdale decided to become animators. We made this simple animation using Pixie. The kids drew their backgrounds and use the stickers provided in Pixie. A total of 40-50 slides were used.

I have attached a folder of templates that I have used with my 1st graders when we cover plants. The picture is a final product of one of the templates. The “talk” feature can be used to help the students identify the part of a plant in the sorting activity.

This project came out of a request by a teacher. The kids fill in the blanks with solid, liquid, or gas. When they are done they click on slide #1 and the slideshow will play automatically. There are directions on the first slide for the students. The directions will disappear when the kids hit “play”.

I was given a challenge to integrate technology and geometry. My response was Google Earth. Google Earth has so many uses in the classroom and it is FREE! Each student was given a copy of the handout (linked below). Once you open Google Earth, turn on 3D buildings. The students can zoom into the building and change their viewing angle so they can see what the building looks like from the street. The students have to identify the shape, and then sketch the building before moving on. I have included the 3D screenshots from Google Earth below.

The Keynote Template that is attached in this post covers plant and animal cells. The students add text boxes and arrows to label their cell parts.

Just leave your first name and you don’t need an email address.
This lesson is made to review solids, liquids, and gases while showcasing the tools in Keynote. The students learned how to use the Alpha tool, move objects to a new layer, and how to add builds to objects to obtain a special effect. This lesson was done in one hour. I have included a generic version of the Keynote below as well as an exported version for you to watch.
