Fictional Stories in Science
Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
NOV8…INNOVATE…Success!
Parents and students had a wonderful time problem solving and designing together at our NOV8…INNOVATE event! 😀
The use of the character cards, and open design challenge cards were perfect for our time frame and goal. If you want to read more about the organization and setup of the event, please see my past posts: NOV8…INNOVATE and NOV8…INNOVATE: Character and Design Cards.
Family teams used their background knowledge, problem solving skills, and creativity to innovate together! (Such a beautiful thing!) After each family team was done designing, I had them create a short video about their problem and designed solution on Flipgrid. If you haven’t used Flipgrid in your classroom yet…please consider it. It is new to me and I find it user friendly and great for communicating process (great EL tech tool). Also, even though I didn’t use it this way today, Flipgrid also can be used collaboratively, and be used to give and receive feedback.
So happy with the results of today. I loved the conversations, the results, and the connections. See some of those results below:
Huge shout out to my science team, admin team, instructional coach, media specialist, and amazing office staff for supporting my event and helping make it possible!
Happy Innovating!
