  • Stop-Motion Animation

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    Thank you so much for giving my students the opportunity to learn how to create stop-motion videos!

    My students have loved exploring stop-motion animation this year! I have been genuinely excited to see their projects come to life and see their enthusiasm for learning grow. Students have used stop-motion techniques to create pixilation animation, object animation, clay-mation, and more! The projects completed have been amazing!

    With all of the fun, students have also developed several new skills including creating needed props, planning frames to create the illusion of movement, and creating appropriate voice overs and sound effects to bring their animations to life.

    Thank you so much for contributing to student learning in my classroom!”

The materials will allow my students to learn science through hands-on experiences. Students will use the materials to make observations, analyze data, and explore patterns. Laboratory experiments are engaging for students. Through these experiments, students will develop a more sophisticated understanding of how the world works. The materials support a three-dimensional approach to the curriculum that is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. 7th grade students will have the materials to explore chemistry, cell biology, waves, and electromagnetism. 8th grade students will explore the fossil record and natural selection with the use of these materials. Lab experiences enhance student learning.
