I collaborated with the computer/visual arts teacher to design a social and computer/visual arts assignment. Our focus was to encourage creativity and give students an opportunity for collaboration. Creativity occurred in all stages of the process. Students had to be creative in the planning stages. They were given the task to choose a common children’s fairy tale and come up with ideas on how to make it a parody. They then had to write their own scripts together which takes an immense amount of creativity to create something entirely from one’s imagination. Because it was a humour unit, they were also tasked with coming up with elements of humour both non-verbal and verbal whether it be witty, dark, silly etc. Finally, they then filmed their scripts either on a green screen or a shadow screen which takes creativity not only to create the video but by learning how to adapt one’s vision into something more realistic.

Sculpture: Imaginary Playgrounds
Rating
0.0 stars

In this lesson, students use wooden parts and pieces to create imaginary playgrounds. This is a great activity for grade 2 and 3 students; if "moving parts" are incorporated, this could also be a great "Kinetic Sculpture" activity for grade 4 Arts Education students.

The Search for Surfactants: What Is the Best Soap?

Rating
0.0 stars

Student teams are challenged to evaluate the design of several liquid soaps to answer the question, “Which soap is the best?” Through two simple teacher class demonstrations and the activity investigation, students learn about surface tension and how it is measured, the properties of surfactants (soaps), and how surfactants change the surface properties of liquids. As they evaluate the engineering design of real-world products (different liquid dish washing soap brands), students see the range of design constraints such as cost, reliability, effectiveness and environmental impact. By investigating the critical micelle concentration of various soaps, students determine which requires less volume to be an effective cleaning agent, factors related to both the cost and environmental impact of the surfactant. By investigating the minimum surface tension of the soap, students determine which dissolves dirt and oil most effectively and thus cleans with the least effort. Students evaluate these competing criteria and make their own determination as to which of five liquid soaps make the “best” soap, giving their own evidence and scientific reasoning. They make the connection between gathered data and the real-world experience in using these liquid soaps.
