**Grade 6 Science program presents** ** The Video Lab Report: Where Scientific Inquiry Meets Digital Storytelling and Film-Making **

** Welcome to [|Mr. Olivas' 6th grade Science class] (here is our latest site!!) where students are speaking their "finds" in this project-based learning collaboration. ** ** This is all about students practicing inquiry and sharing their content knowledge, personal interests and collaboration skills with the **** world via video. Students go through the digital storytelling process to create a product which displays their knowledge of the **** technology and science standards and benchmarks at [|Shanghai American School]. ** ** Special thanks to Miss Amanda Decardy for her expertise, inspiration, consulations and other "tech"aspects. **

John and Jorge's fast-motion Procedure section Hannah and her group complete building of their speedster mousetrap car, Little Mo!
 * Below are some video still shots of various project components. Project description can be found in the links in the sidebar of this page. **
 * You can also find links there to a few completed video works by our students. **

Misha describes their observations and discusses which variable they will manipulate in order to increase the velocity for Little Mo



Jorge narrates his observations during his trials for the Big Mama mousetrap car, named Meteor Knight

Hannah appears on camera and gives us a play by play of her first test run for hypothesis 1 for Little Mo


 * The girls experience elation, and then heartbreak as their Big Mama mousetrap car almost reached their predicted distance before getting ** ** caught on her own string and rolling backwards! **



Science can be unpredictable! Aww, try another hypothesis girls! :)



Literary elements accompanied by a powerful soundtrack in their summary of hypothesis 2 for Big Mama. Very nice ladies! Ryan shows his video editing expertise and love of photography in his analysis of Little Mo's performance

Here are three examples of some "Bill Nye Moments" from various groups demonstrating other concepts of physics and Forces and Motion! ** 3 **

A few different ways student create their graphs and discuss the results and analysis of their experiments

So serious and professional as Daeun, Hannah and Misha summarize their findings Credit, where its due! **'Hope you enjoyed these photo previews. Would you like to see some video samples? Click here!** Visit our Site of Science! and our NEW SITE!)
