Why would you choose this?

Explain to students what a public service announcement is and show them some examples. Have students create a public service announcement describing what their game or toy is, what materials they used, how it helps by reusing materials, and how to play their game or toy (have them demonstrate them playing with it). Using their iPads, they can record their Public Service Announcement and upload it to their Seesaw or Google classroom.]]> 2020-11-18 15:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/937323288 halderman1 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/937329494 Have students create a PicCollage (if we could get it on IPads) that includes a picture of their living thing with the needs they need to survive.  They could then create a video describing their PicCollage.]]> 2020-11-18 15:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/937329494 cchauvin83 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/937883722 Have them draw an animal in a "perfect" environment and a littered environment.

Dress up as your favorite animal, bring 1, 2 or 3 things that you think the animal needs to survive. Don't buy anything; be creative and use clothes and material you have at home.

They could use dialogue with recording, typing a few words on the page, etc. Students would continue to draw pictures of what the environment around the animal looks like, then the student would be able to make suggestions for what humans need to survive and how we impact everything in their life, community and world.   Use Seesaw to make a similar story.]]> 2020-11-18 20:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938807846 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938826863 Aliens have landed on planet earth.  What would they look like?  They would have a special need that helps to clean up the environment, i.e. They love plastic so they could eat up all of the plastic in the oceans, lakes, and streams.   What would they need to eat, sleep, and breath in our environment.  They could draw the creature and then tell all about the alien by video.  ]]> 2020-11-18 20:47:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938826863 vsmith117 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938866945 Aliens landed is by Vanessa Smith.]]> 2020-11-18 20:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938866945 vsmith117 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938945903 We had a blizzard hit our city and there is no electricity anywhere.  What kind of game or toy could you create with items found around your house to entertain you until we get our technology back?  Students could create a model and then video it to explain what it is and how to use it. ]]> 2020-11-18 21:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/938945903 mschmohl1 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/939488502 Have the students create a collage poster from old magazines. The students would look through old magazines and cut a picture out of a living thing, then add either additional magazine cuttings or draw in the things their living thing would need to survive. This would also re-enforce the recycling concept, to use old magazines for other purposes.

Showing that animal growing up in an environment that is gradually overtaken with pollution. Showing how this affects the animal and habitat it lives in.

We have been working on it and getting closer but we are still not proficient. I am thinking I would use SeeSaw as the platform to answer these questions; it is what my students and parents are most comfortable with. Students could build a book, so to speak. Page 1 would be to learn to take a screen shot and post a picture of their chosen animal. Page 2, students could have a grown up record their responses to "Why would you choose this?" Then, Grown up's could interview student and answer the following questions: Is your animal wild or a pet? Is your animal a hunter or is your animal hunted? What does your animal eat? How does your animal stay safe? Page 3, could be a drag and drop activity where I have created numerous food and non-food sources. Students could drag the items their animals eat into a "food bin".]]> 2020-11-23 16:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/952938895 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/953505191 Kindergarten Class: After students have learned and explored the ways that living/non-living things may impact their/our lives, students will go on a virtual "field trip" to landfill (during post COVID, students will visit either one of the Republic Landfills, or the Johnson County Landfill) to actually observe the environment/location of garbage/trash and recycled materials that were picked-up and transported by our local waste management system.  Students will be placed in groups with one clipboard per group containing a lab sheet with about 3-5 questions and a blank grid sheet to sketch/draw at least one area of the landfill that they think could be improved or modified; and one area that could impact their lives.  College/Career: Students will brainstorm and compile a list of a college degree program or a career that specializes in ways that engineers can help clean-up trash/debris left by humans in space. ]]> 2020-11-23 18:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/953505191 ccorbin10 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/957666761 Animal Skits: Students will film a short video of themselves answering the questions. They are answering the questions as their animal of choice. For example, my animal would be a dolphin. I would like to be a dolphin because they are smart and social. They now pretend they are their animal in the wild. So, I am aquatic mammal so I need air and water to survive. I live in the ocean and hunt with my family.                                                                                        Student's could aslo draw a picture of their animal and record their answers to the question.]]> 2020-11-24 19:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/957666761 https://padlet.com/emabion/vdbu5gnvl0p4ozc4/wish/961160855 Using  Pear Deck I would have students draw the living thing they would become.
