What will they use?

How will achievement be

judged?
How will results be recorded?

What students are

doing/learning/demonstrating/engaging/activities?

ACTIVITY 1: The students will start by watching the

short video about the sun. Then, teacher will hand out
iPads to the students. The students will all log onto
Popplet and write down facts that they learned about
the sun from the short video.

App Popplet
A youtube video about the sun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FB0rDsR_rc

The students will be learning all different information

about the sun and how to use the APP Popplet.
ACTIVITY 2: The Students will be working together in
small groups of 3 to 4 to create their own Solar Oven.
(The teacher will show the students a demonstration
'oven' and give instructions on how to craft it). The
Students will need to create their own oven and
personalise it if they wish. Then they can 'roast'
their marshmallows with chocolate on a graham
cracker. Students will create a stop motion of their
'ovens' working, by taking photos of the progression of
the melting. They will use the App StopMotion, and
have access to watch the video after they have taken
all the photos.
The students will need:
- A black box with a lid, preferably plastic.
- Graham Crackers
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate (3-4 pieces)
- A Magnifying Glass
- A hot and sunny day!

App StopMotion
The students will need for their solar ovens:
- A black box with a lid, preferably plastic.
- Graham Crackers
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate (3-4 pieces)
- A Magnifying Glass
- A hot and sunny day!
- Foil

Assessments would be
collecting all the ICT
(Popplet, StopMotion
and PearNotes).
Use an observation
checklist. Making sure
all students are
participating, using the
ICT correctly, that they
have variety in ICT
tools, communicating,
understand aspects
about the sun.
Mark the Popplet
making sure they have
correct information
about the sun
Mark the StopMotion,
see if they used the app
correctly and made a
proper stop motion.
Mark the PearNotes,

- Foil

making sure they used

all aspect of how to
take notes (video,
audio, photos and
writing) and that all the
information is correct.

The students will be learning about heat, the sun and

how things melt. They will also learn how to use the
APP StopMotion, and how to create their own stop
motion videos.
ACTIVITY 3: In continuation from the students solar
'oven,' the students will experiment with 'What Melts in
the Sun?'The students can go out and collect their
own materials and use materials provided by the
teacher. Namely, crayons, chalk, toys, beads, etc.The
students will use their solar 'ovens' and magnifying
glasses to test what melts.
The Students will take notes on the App PearNotes,
where the students can record short videos, audio,
photos and write notes. They will have to record well to
be able to present to the class afterwards.
Students will learn how to use the APP PearNotes.
The students will further learn about heat of the sun,
how to melt things and what objects melt in the suns
heat.

Mark their solar ovens.

App PearNotes
Materials to test to see if they melt in their solar
ovens.

Mark how well they

follow instructions,
listening skills, etc.
