Organising Images for a Narrative

• Activity Outine: This is a very open activity, the students are to take a series of photographs that show an process in science (or possibly in maths) with digital cameras. They they use the computer based image organisation/slideshow software to arrange these images in an order that is able to show/represent the process that they wish to show. Using the software, where possible they add labels and notes to the image. The aim is to allow them to describe a process without the need for significant amounts of text.

• Suggested Contexts:
  • How shadow lengths vary duting the day
  • Any science investrigation/practical activity that the class may be carrying out
  • Photographing the germination of a plant seed over time (once a day)
  • Photographing a walk around the school grounds looking for animal habitats
  • In the science activity (visualising data) students may want to photograph different stages of the measurement
  • In maths, students may want to photograph different stages of the stones investigation.
