What all they do to grow vegetables and fruits. write about it in a sequence
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Prior to going outside, show students how to use the iPad camera application, including the focus function to take photos.
Provide opportunity for each pair to take some photos around the classroom.
Explain to students that they are going to be moving outside to plant their seed. They will need to use their photography skills to capture each step in planting the seed as these will be used in another activity.
You may wish to discuss planting process with students prior to leaving the classroom.
Take class outside to the space where you are intending to plant the seeds. Model the process of planting a seed:
Break up the soil
Add the fertiliser/plant food
Dig a hole
Place a seed in the hole
Cover the hole
Water the seed
Cover with mulch
Students practise taking photos using the camera application on the iPads.
After watching the teacher demonstration, students have the opportunity to plant their own seed in pairs.
One student takes photographs with the iPad to capture each step of the journey while the other student plants the seed.
Once complete, students place the labelled ice-cream stick in the ground behind their seed.
Note: Depending on the year level, you may wish to demonstrate one step of the process and ask the students to complete that step then come back for the next.
Alternatively, for the older students, give the students a longer set of instructions to follow.
Also, if you do not have a space in the garden, the seeds could also be planted in small pots or polystyrene or paper cups.
Provide opportunity for students to complete each of the steps to plant their seed. Remind them that they need to capture each step of the process using the Camera application on the iPads.
Stage 2: Documenting sequence of steps (after planting)
Introduce Pic Collage to Foundation students or Strip Designer to Level 1–2 students.
On the display screen, model how to insert a picture and write text in the program.
Introduce the idea of an algorithm to Level 1–2 students. For example:
Pose the question about sun safety and wearing hats by asking, ‘Is it sunny outside?’
Students can then think about what they would do if the answer was yes or no. They may say, ‘If yes ➝ get a hat before you play outside. If no ➝ go straight outside to play.’
Show how you would document this using a flowchart on the board.
Provide time for students to practise importing pictures and/or adding text into Pic Collage or Strip Design.
In addition, Level 1–2 students can create a yes/no decision tree on their practice example in Strip Design. For example:
Are you hungry?
Are you cold or hot? (hot – take off jumper, put on aircon; cold – put on jumper, turn on heater)
Is it wet outside? (ie Do I need a raincoat?)
