Digital Scavenger Hunt

My group did the Social Studies Scavenger Hunt.  We got to run around campus and take pictures of something old, new technology, and various signs and maps.  I thought it was a great activity and want to try it in my class sometime.  Maybe I could do various chemical and physical changes and properties.

Collaborative Wiki Page

 

The math and science students in all sections of TPTE 486 are compiling resources that we can use in our classes on a group wiki page.  It's interesting to see how the others have changed formating or added new graphics.  It looks like the math teachers are beating the science teachers in prettiness.  I'll have to remedy that this week.

 

Element Brochure

I used a wiki for my classes to make an element brochure.  I had gotten really tired of the printer's not working and students complaining, so I made the wiki and had the students post all of the necessary information to it.  They did a great job.  It went really smoothly, and they seemed to like posting to the wiki.  You can find their brochures here.

Fireworks Webquest

This is a webquest activity that I want to have my students complete when we talk about chemical reactions, specifically double displacement and combustion.  It address the reactions behind fireworks and explains in a more tangible way why balancing equations is so important.  There are sites listed for the students to explore and specific questions they must answer.
