| CIMI Audio Podcasts Now Available | ||
 Click on the picture above or this LINK to go to the CIMI podcasts player. There are 59 audio files -- one from each student in the class -- that cover all aspects of our 2011 CIMI trip. Students wrote and recorded stories about day snorkeling, night snorkeling, snorkel games, the Hall of Mammals, the terrestrial hike, the astronomy hike, the sunrise hike, the invertebrate lab, the shark lab, the algae lab, kayaking, the climbing wall, the creatures of the night lab, and free time. To develop their podcasts students learned how to record audio files on mp3 players using high quality stereo microphones, how to transfer those files from the players to our laptop computers, and finally, how to use audio editing software to clean up and publish their finished stories to our classroom network. Once the files were collected on our classroom server, they were uploaded to the web for your enjoyment. |

| Rube Goldberg Machine | ||
|
You have to watch this video! It is so cool! A "Rube Goldberg" machine is one that is made of odd parts and presents a sequence of activities that would not normally be connected. All it takes is the push of a toy car to get everything started and then it moves along all by itself -- powered only by gravity and some occasional electric power. This sequence is brilliant! It's a great lead-in to our Bottle Rocket Project and introduction to physics. |
