Shadow Plants

I recently had the pleasure of co-teaching with Ms. Gibson at Adams Elementary. Her first graders had been learning about plants and she wanted a fun interactive way to demonstrate their knowledge. After our planning meeting we decided to use Shadow Puppet Edu. This is an awesome app where students can create videos with pictures that they take on the iPads.

The students first drew pictures of a plant. The made sure to include the roots, stem, leaf, and flower. Once the pictures were done we were ready for the app!

Students then took a pic of their drawing and placed it in the Shadow Puppet app. From there they were able to record their voice and touch the different parts of the plant. I love that when students touch the parts of the plant, it lights up where they touched. The videos are saved in the camera roll and can easily be pulled off the iPad.
