-== Explain ideas using {{tag|animation}} ==
-It is hard to imagine a really piece of communication that does not benefit from graphics. Numerous tools allow students to draw, photograph, and make video and animation. (SCRATCH; POWERPOINT). Some, if not many learners, adapt well to working with visuals and thus teachers can exploit this. For example
-* Make a step-by-step {{tag|visual guide}} to an experiment
-* Make a puzzle where you must put a series of steps in the right order
-* {{tag|Animate}} a story to explain what happens in photosynthesis
-* {{tag|Animate}} the orbit of the earth to explain the phases of the moon or the reasons for seasons.
-* Make a {{tag|timelapse}} movie of a plant growing towards the light
-* Write a {{tag|dialogue}} where {{tag|animated}} characters {{tag|discuss}} two sides of an environmental issue
 == {{tag|Animation}}, {{tag|models}} and {{tag|simulations}} ==
 Many science ideas are perhaps best experienced and {{tag|animation}} offers a way towards providing some experience. An Internet search easily finds free and commercial simulations of popular topics such as the heart cycle or kinetic theory. You may even have skills with animation tools (Adobe Edge; Sketch; PowerPoint; {{tag|whiteboard}} software) that allows you to create an animation for a teaching need.
