Observation and measurement are huge parts of scientific knowledge and learning. During this project students will demonstrate laboratory skills while performing specific measurement activities. Students will create a step by step tutorial on how to perform the task they choose. Tutorials should include which tools or lab equipment are needed, formulas used, measurement units and results. Each group will be responsible for recording a specific measurement skill and activity that they can show the class to be used as a learning tool.

 * 1) First, use the class blog for the entire length of the project. This website will have all due dates, project guidelines, rubrics and general project information needed to complete each part of the project.
 * 2) Next you will be assigned a lab group with whom you will work on this project with.
 * 3) Then brainstorm with your group on project topics you are interested in, it may be something you know a lot, a little, or nothing about. Pick a category and each group member will measure their object.//*Remember investigation is sometimes the most enjoyable part of science.// (1 class period for steps 1-3)
 * 4) You will then investigate how best to explain the skill or activity you will be demonstrating. Notes will be required to be kept on mass, volume and density of each of your objects, as well as recording sources used. (1 class period)
 * 5) Then create a notebook file including all materials needed, units used, procedures, results and conclusions of your activity. //*Remember to include images and any calculations in your tutorial.//(1class period)
 * 6) After making your notebook tutorial, you need to prepare a digital storyboard for your movie maker project. *//Remember every good movie needs a good script//. This will be where you plan out how you will set up your lab task for your movie maker project. It will include any lab tools you will need, as well as any other objects or materials needed for your demonstration. You and your partner will also need to assign speaking roles and specific tasks to be performed during the actual video. (2 class periods)
 * 7) The final part of the project will be a video of you and your partner performing the laboratory task using a flip video camera. Please make sure your video is well thought out, clearly shot, is informative and has clear audio. (2 class periods)
 * 8) ** If you finish early import your videos into Windows Movie Maker. At this point you may add music to the background of your video, as long as the music does not distract from the overall effectiveness of the video as a learning tool. //*Remember to keep the volume of the music low so it does not overtake your video.//
 * 9) Last, but certainly not least, you will load your finished movie maker projects on to Teacher Tube in order to share your work with a bigger audience, and larger learning community. On Teacher Tube you will be able to view each other’s work as well as share your project with other students and teachers working on these skills and topics.
