=**February/March 2011**=

Students will create a short movie on a specific body system. They will write a script that proves their 4 claims and provide evidence with researched facts and illustrations. Podcast plan and rubric are attached.
 * Assignment:**



Standards:


 * Grade 5 Technology Progress Report Indicators**

 * STANDARD 1— Use Technology Effectively.**
 * Use graphic organizer for webbing, mapping, and paragraph development.
 * Use graphic organizer for planning and writing development.
 * Save and open files on server, local hard drive, and USB flash drives.
 * Multitask among multiple applications.
 * Refine searches using Boolean terms and, or, not.
 * Use digital cameras.
 * Uses digital video camera.
 * STANDARD 2—Produce Quality Work.**

 * Message 2/3:**
 * Set up a shared message board on Stixy.com
 * View resources on Steck Bookmarks under 5th Grade Science

Work on organization. View the following account in Stixy.com for an example. Cardiovascular system by Magdalen, Josue, and Will
 * Message 2/10:**

Go back and check your work to make sure you covered all 4 required statements about the body system.
 * Message 2/17:**

>> CAREFUL... DO NOT apply to ALL stills (deselect this option)
 * Message 2/24 and 3/3:**
 * Finalize your scripts in Stixy.com
 * Download all your pictures into iPhoto
 * Create a New Project in iMovie - File/New Project
 * 1) Naming your project: 5E bodysystem (Elliott's Class) or 5N bodysystem (Naughton's Class)
 * 2) DO NOT choose a theme, you will create your own Title pages and transitions
 * 3) Drag and drop photos in the proper order
 * 4) Change the Clip Duration to 30 second or more - apply to ALL stills
 * 5) Record script using microphone - DO NOT run the script together - one statement/recording per photo
 * 6) Record video directly into iMovie
 * Editing Process
 * 1) Change the Clip Duration to match the length of your audio + 2 seconds
 * 1) Edit the text on the titles - add all student names and references if needed
 * 2) Check audio - is your voice loud enough? Can you adjust it or do you have to record again?
 * Optional - Advanced Editing features
 * 1) Add more titles to label photos
 * 2) Add music to the background. Choose music that makes sense for your video style.
 * 3) Use Ken Burns or cropping features to emphasize photos.

Will be sent home on student flash drives or on a DVD.
 * Final Videos:**


 * Science: Grade Level Expectation: Fifth Grade** (ALL expectations, not just specific to this project)

2. Human body systems have basic structures, functions, and needs
 * Concepts and skills students master:**

Students can: a. Develop and communicate an evidence-based scientific explanation regarding how humans address basic survival needs b. Analyze and interpret data to generate evidence that human systems are interdependent c. Assess further scientific explanations regarding basic human body system functions d. Create and evaluate models of human body systems and organs e. Compare and contrast a human system to that of another organism, and provide hypotheses about why the similarities and differences exist
 * Evidence Outcomes**

1. How are human body systems similar to and different from those found in other organisms? 2. How are organs impacted when different body systems fail to work correctly?
 * 21st Century Skills and Readiness Competencies**
 * Inquiry Questions:**

1. People can create goals about their own lifestyle such as exercising every day and eating healthy foods based on an understanding of human body systems. 2. Societal norms and practices that are intended to protect our health such as wearing a bicycle helmet can be based on scientific evidence.
 * Relevance and Application:**

1. Review and analyze information presented by peers on the structure and function of the human body and provide feedback on their evidence and scientific conclusions. 2. Critically evaluate models of the human body, identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the model in representing complex natural phenomena.
 * Nature of Science:**
