Geology

My "Rock" Video

For my TechYES Science project I used a digital camera to take pictures of all the rock I had to memorize for my Earth Science class. I imported the 15 different pictures of rocks into iMovie to make a narrated movie about what each rocks classification and special characteristics.

I used different background music for the igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks while doing a voice over narration of their different characteristics.

The igneous rocks had a heavy metal rock band music. The sedimentary had soft classical music. The metamorphic rocks had weird techno like music.

I then exported my movie to a quicktime version and uploaded it to TeacherTube so my friends and family could see it. I also burned it to a DVD (using iDVD from iMovie) and showed it to my science class a week later. My "rock" video helped me and other students in my class remember the difference between the rocks.

Tsunamis

I did my website about tsunamis, how they happen, famous ones from different places, and what you should do if you live in a tsunami zone.
