Description
This activity was designed with 8th-grade Middle School students in mind as a way to activate and increase their background knowledge on the topic of Animatronics, as well as their scientific vocabulary in this field. It can easily be adapted to a 6th-grade group by reducing its length and complexity by half (ie. include only two parts, A and B, instead of three; cut down the number of blanks to 10-11, instead of 22). For a 7th-grade class, I would recommend finding a middle ground.
Students will complete the missing words while watching and listening to the video titled, 'Secrets Hidden Behind Animatronic Design.' This educational video is one of a series published and posted by KiwiCo on YouTube for free. Here is the link.
