My digital story illustrated the process of star birth, and is intended to be used as the beginning of a larger unit having to do with stars, our sun, stellar processes, and the connection between the earth and the sun.
-Montana State Standards covered: science standards 1,2,4,5
From opi.mt.gov:
Standard 1- Students, through the inquiry process, demonstrate the ability to design, conduct, evaluate, and communicate results and reasonable conclusions of scientific investigations.
Standard 2- Students, through the inquiry process, demonstrate knowledge of properties, forms, changes and interactions of physical and chemical systems.
Standard 4- Students, through the inquiry process, demonstrate
knowledge of the composition, structures, processes and interactions of Earth’s systems and other objects in space.
Standard 5- Students, through the inquiry process, understand how scientific knowledge and technological developments impact communities, cultures and societies.
The main learning objective of this digital story, would first be to introduce the idea of stellar formation, and through collaboration and inquiry the students could, by the end, demonstrate a deep understanding of stellar formation.
The incorporation of this digital story would be to first present the video as-is with minimal foundation. Then after the story is shown, take a survey of the class to identify prior knowledge of the subject. Then, over the course of one class period, go through the digital story on a smart board, flesh out all of the topics involved in star birth. Using groups, supplemental activities in the form of thought experiments could promote peer learning. The relative advantage of using this presentation style is that it establishes multiple pathways to the information via visual, auditory, peer collaboration, and teacher instruction as opposed to static lecture format.
