Activities

This is an easy project for introducing Web page composition. In it, kids create a simple page with data that changes every day.

What is a story? Nothing more than an orderly telling of a tale in a way that the audience understands and appreciates enough to want to see how it ends.

Participants will experience a hands-on activity that enables them to sort, classify, and interpret their findings by participating in a zany archaeological dig through a preselected pile of everyday trash.

Imagine saying to your students, "Let's make a TV show or music video!"

Few projects can engage children like video projects. They're fun, and what could be more gratifying for a child than to see his or her name rolling in the credits, just like in a movie?

Even if you're introducing photography as part of a larger project, you'll want to spend time over several sessions introducing photographic techniques to kids to help them understand elementary concepts like distance, angle and framing. "Zany Zoom Ins" is an intermediate activity you can use along the way. In this activity, the kids take ultra-close-up photographs of common objects to identify what they are.
