1. Technology acts a direct substitute, with no functional improvement
Plickers Quiz
Today you will take a pre-test on the distribution of water on Earth.
Later, you will take a post-test on the distribution of water on Earth.
SUBSTITUTION
Technology acts a direct substitute,
with no functional improvement
Take your Plickers card and familiarize yourself with it. The number on the back of the card is your Student Number.
You will turn your card to answer questions that are displayed on the Promethean board. Your choices will be A, B, C, or D.
The letter you choose should be pointed at the top.
Please keep your card STILL as I scan the iPad across the room.
Look for your results on the board by finding your Student Number to check your answer. If you get it wrong the first time, it’s okay. This is only a pre-test. You will be able to retake it later.
After you complete the three activities assigned to you on Water Distribution on Earth, you will take this quiz again, and it will be for a grade.
This task uses:
Learning Objective(s):
Students will be able to describe the amount and the distribution of water on Earth in the oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater, icecaps, and the atmosphere.

Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
Open the Tellagami app in the iPad.
Create a video with your partner to explain the distribution of salt water and fresh water on Earth. The data can be found in your NMSI packet “How Wet Is Our Planet?”
Your video must include both “inserted text” and “voice auditory” of you and your partner reading information and explaining the distribution of salt and fresh water on our planet.
After you and your partner have finished editing your Tellagami, upload it to Padlet.

Experiment Video.
You will create a video performing the experiment and post to Padlet.
REDEFINITION Technology allows for the creation of new tasks that were previously not conceivable
You will gather your materials needed for the “How Wet Is Our Planet?” experiment: 1 five gallon tank (or five gallon jugs), 10mL graduated syringe, 400 mL beaker, calculator, “How Wet Is Our Planet” experiment packet, iPad
Assign each group member to be the “director,” the “camera-man/woman,” the “actor/ actress,” and the “narrator.”
The director will be in charge of keeping the film on topic and considering all group members’ ideas. The director will make the final decision on creative performances. The camera-man/woman will be in charge of filming the experiment. He/she will make the final decision when editing the video in iMovie. The actor/actress will be the one performing the experiment. He/she has the responsibility for following all steps and procedures (including lab safety) when performing the experiment. The narrator will be in charge of talking in the video. The narrator will make the final decisions on the script of the film.
Collaborate with your group to film yourselves using the iMovie app on the iPad performing the experiment.
Then upload it to Padlet. The Padlet link is: or you can go to Mrs. Richey’s Blackboard under Earth and Space Science > Water Distribution > Padlet link
You must watch and make at least TWO educational critiques to TWO different videos. The videos you critique must be from another class period than your own.
