eTraveling Science Programs

Final Project Plan No. 1

Goal: Convert two in-class programs to Web-based programs to educate more students across our service territory on energy fundamentals.

Program One: Energy Lab, grades 3-5, electricity and magnetism

Plan: Create a video of an Energy Lab program. Upload a series of video segments based on various topics, such as: What is electricity? How does electricity travel? How do you make electricity using magnets? What is a conductor? How do you make a circuit? I'd also like to have an area that discusses the scientific method and how to use it to conduct circuit experiments.

Action Items:

• Develop program - lecture and instructional aides. Done.
• Videotape program. Done.
• Select video feed and organize for an online format. Upload.

Program Two: Building Electricity, grades 1-2, energy

Plan: Create a VoiceThread that discusses different energy sources, uses of electrical power, and how electricity is made and sent to homes and schools.

Action Items:

• Create screen graphics. This is what I've developed so far...

• Develop lecture materials. Done.
• Record VoiceThread and upload.
