Cartoon Project- Nutrients & Well Being

Ladies & Gentlemen,

In todays computer class you will be doing a super fun activity!!  Yippee!!

Today you will be using a software that allows you to bring your comic strips to life meaning, you will convert your comic to a moving cartoon.  I believe you have used this program in Form 4.
Miss Marisel will be guiding you through this process so please listen carefully!!!

You should have your sketch book in hand.  In this book you should have a 9 block comic strip done in a previous class (so that your ideas are ready.)  You will have to go directly to work with the program.  There will be no time permitted to construct a comic strip in computing class!

Your comic strip must teaching the importance of at least 2 nutrients. Your teacher will assign this to you as we will need 10 students representing 2 each.

Your comic may look somthing like these but when we are finished they will be a moving cartoon!! Go ahead & have fun sharing about healthy nutrients!!
Thanks!
Miss Noelle

June 15th Friday 5B Tech class- NUTRIENTS

Good afternoon children!

Today during your computing class you will be doing an investigation directly related to Natural Science class unit on WELL BEING.

You must view & review the e-materials provided by Miss Marisel to learn & investigate about nutrition, specifically nutrients required by our bodies to live, grow, repair, etc.

After viewing your provided materials, you will be required to gather the following information. Your results of questions 3-5 should be organized & placed in a table that you will create in the program Microsoft Word.

1. What are nutrients? 
2. Why do we need them?
3. Please investigate the function of the following nutrients needed by our body to survive. Please state each function specifically.
a.) carbohydrates
b.) protiens
c.) fat
d.) vitamens
e.) minerals
f.) water
4. Please provide examples of sources of these a-f (Where can we find these items? What are they?) What happens if you have a deficiency, meaning, if you do not have enough of it?
5. If you finish all of this work during the class & have some extra time, we will ask you to find pictures of your selected examples to demonstrate sources of nutrients.
 We will use all of this information in another class to do a final project so please work carefully as this will be a resource for another project.
Thank you & have fun learning!!

TIC-TECH Class

Hello students!

A.) During last TIC class you were working on your brochure of your technological object, remember?!  Today you will return to that project for a few minutes to finish up any small details you were not able to complete.

B.) Next you will take out your sketch book where you have your improved design.  Keep it nearby as you will need it as a guide for you to construct your design online.

Miss Marisel will be teaching you how to use a program called Google Sketchup so that you can design your improved model.  Please follow along & listen to her instrustions very carefully. Below is the link.
