Our session on Feb. 6 begins with saving and uploading images from your computer, moves through LCD projector use, and winds up with Document Camera training.You will receive a science experiment and materials. (One group will receive an Author Visit assignment.) Use the document camera and your blog to design a lesson that incorporates the experiment from beginning to end. Each team will present their lesson using a laptop and projector to the group.
Make sure your lesson includes the following:
- The name and work location of each members of your group
- The topic of the lesson
- At least three pictures from the document camera
Raisin Race

Water droplets on a penny
Sandy and Chris
Author Visit

Note: Posted to the Washington Library blog
Air pressure and water
Estella and Adwoa
Note: It was hard to deal with the water, fearing a potential spill on the computer.
Mixtures
Suzanne and Deborah
Air pressure
Ilene and Ray
Note: Standing up the cans works better than rolling them.
Also, they tried to make a movie but couldn't get it to work with Quicktime, the document camera software might not interface with quicktime.
Archimedes principle of buoyancy
Jon and Amber
Note: Maybe add food color to the water so that it is easier to see.
Secret color coded message
Dilwara and John
Note: Need to use the color filter in front of the projector rather than the camera, as the intensity of the light from the camera is not strong enough.
General notes:
- Slides download from the document camera a little slowly; downloading them to the computer gives you more options to manipulate them.
- Don't use Safari as a browser when working in Blogger. Use Firefox.
- Know where the circuit panel is in case you blow a fuse from having so much equipment operating at once.
- We need the microscope adapter.
- Are there cases for the projectors?
- This is soooooooo exciting!
