Animations can be used in a variety of ways with students at VELS Level 4. They can be used to engage, explain and encourage students to be active within their learning enviroment. Animations can be developed by the teacher to enhance the content they will teach and arouse student interest in the topic. Animations can also be developed by the students to show their growing understandings of key concepts within the unit of work. Such teaching and learning activities can be utilised very well in "cross curriculum" activities consistent with the 5E Instructional Model.
Here are some examples:
This animation we developed as a group to be used as a teaching tool in the classroom. The animation relates to the causes and effects of volcanic eruptions.
This animation we found on Youtube. We liked the way the video described volcanic eruptions in song and thought this would engage the students.
