AR adaptations incursion
Science and technology
Program
Students will learn about structural and behavioural adaptations of Australian invertebrates by developing an informative AR video.
Learning intentions
- We are learning to explain how structural and behavioural features of invertebrates help them to survive in their environment.
- We are learning to compose a text using augmented reality.
Activities
Adaptations lab
Students will explore the natural areas of your school collecting invertebrates, observing their features and making inferences about adaptations.
Adaptations content
Using a digital pencil with an iPad, students will create a digital drawing of their chosen invertebrate, including its structural adaptations, while exploring bilateral symmetry.
Students will use their adaptations journal and other resources to write a script for an informative video about their invertebrate’s structural and behavioural adaptations. They’ll also use iMovie, AR and animation apps to bring their digital drawings to life.
Adaptations studio
Students will use a variety of cinematography techniques to edit and refine their adaptations video.
All videos and digital drawings will be shared via Google Drive.
