1st Grade Push & Pull Movies

First graders at Holladay took the same pictures I used in this podcast lesson and put themselves into the picture using the PhotoBooth background effect! Then they created videos where they talked about what kinds of forces they saw… pushes or pulls. As you can imagine, they had a lot of fun doing it, and it was an excellent way to assess their understanding without using a worksheet or a test. Take a look at a few of their finished videos by clicking here. You can download the folder of pictures we used by clicking here.
