Lesson Summary
Students researched a plant of their choice from a list of plants that grow at the Neighborhood Resource Center down the street from their school. Students used a variety of web resources, including Elementary Britannica, to gather information about their plant. Their research information was compiled into a script that they recorded using a green screen and the Do Ink App. The finished videos were uploaded to Seesaw and the QR code was printed and laminated. The students also used Tinkercad to design a 3D garden stake for their plant. Their designs were printed on the 3D printer and the QR code was attached to the garden stake. The finished stakes will be delivered to the Neighborhood Resource Center for use in their garden.
