History Tours Assignment 2 due by April 12 at 8 p.m.
Thoughts on these tours. How could you use these?
I think the videos are very informative and the images used give the viewer the feeling that they are actually in the rain forest, seeing the various flora and fauna. If I was a science teacher , I would think these videos would help make the learning exciting for the students. - Liz Fitzgerald
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use this virtual field trip in my 9th grade Biology classroom during my Ecology unit. My students could compose an amazon rainforest food web after viewing all the producers and consumers shown and then could breakdown the web into distinct food chains.- Jen Renz
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the virtual tours of the rain forest. The colors and details made the pictures so beautiful and really bring the rain forest to life! These videos would be great to incorporate into a science class. However, I could incorporate one of the videos into my curriculum when studying scientific notation. The video talks about how the Amazon Rain Forest is 2.5 million square miles. Students could be entertained and learn fun facts about the Amazon while practicing writing large numbers in scientific notation. I was fascinated by the number of different species that live in the Amazon. I am perfectly happy to watch these virtual tours of the rain forest, but not so sure that I would like to visit in person. Tarantulas the size of dinner plates and 70,000 different kinds of insects...Yuck! - Jen Pietnik
ReplyDeleteCurrently in my art classes I am having students draw "spring things" which include things like animals, insects, snakes, birds, flowers and trees. These videos would be a great way to get students thinking about what they might want to draw for this project. The images are fantastic.

I could use this for my younger kids even. They would be completely mesmerized by the animals. The quality of the pictures/videos is amazing.
ReplyDeleteEvery year, my third graders would explore biomes and animal adaptations that allow animals to survive and thrive in specific habitats. Students would explore variations of camouflage, such as mimicry, disguise, concealing coloration, and disruptive coloration. These videos provide students with an up close perspective of life in the rainforest from the sights and sounds to the richest examples of camouflage considerably more appealing than those found in textbooks or on worksheets.
