Mrs. Vilas!

What I do to show you guys how to use awesome Apps and websites!  I will regret that I did this once I am an old lady and look back at the silly things I did when I was a teacher.


This is Video Star which is a FREE iPad APP.

What is your opinion of this App? How can we use this app for school projects or on our blog posts to affect the lives of our readers in some way?

Post your suggestions below.

 

Directions:
Choose only ONE of the four scenarios listed below and create a poster containing the following information:

– Complete a drawing of your scenario
– Label appropriately: heat source, heat, sink, direction of energy flow
– Identify the type of heat transfer it is (Conduction, Convection, or Radiation)
– Address any question(s) in your scenario
– Use lots of color & be creative!
– Use 8" x 11"; 8" x 14"; or 9" x 12" paper (paper will be given on Monday, 3/18)
_______________________________

As you are doing this assignment, remember a quote from Albert Einstein – “You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.” You are making a poster for those who don’t understand the three ways heat is transferred.

Have fun making your poster!

Every school day the poster is late, 10 points will be deducted for each school day.
