Creativity in Mind

A fun way to apply the Scientific Method using Mark Rober's original Squirrel (1.0) course. I have linked the you tube video in the document. The video itself is about 20 minutes in length. With a pre- and post-discussion, this is likely a two-day activity.

I created this for my daughter's Girl Scout Troop for help with the badge of the same name. However, I realized it could help anyone who needed their students to create a script before filming a movie. When I went looking, I couldn't find much that was kid-friendly...so I made my own. You could use this for any class and any subject. What better way to learn a topic than to film a movie about it!

I used this as an introduction to invasive species in various classes during our Human Impact unit. I followed up with my "Invasive Species Television Report" project (also available on TPT). This year, with Juniors and Seniors in my Environmental Science class I even had them film themselves like a real television report.

Have your students review the concepts of global warming and its effects, graph construction, and graph interpretation using this self-directed activity.

This is for any new teacher who needs to create a syllabus. Edit to meet your own needs!

Use these beautifully illustrated notes as your primary source of information for a unit on evolution or as a study guide.
