Creating SpacesAMNA, CHRISTINA, DENISE, KARLA, & RALPH
THE DREAM TEAM
IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN CREATE IT!

Create a Space for InquiryWhat might be happening at the event horizon
of a Black Hole?
Engage, challenge, and motivate our students to learn in these virtual spaces!

Create a Space for Exploration
Let our students follow the path of a blood cell as it enters the body's circulatory system in
our virtual space.
Virtual spaces will allow students to investigatenatural phenomenon without the constraints of
time and geography.

Survival in a Virtual WorldHave students create a survival plan for their environment (pod) and make a power point with their avatar explaining what they would find here.
● What kind of weather would you find in a Tropical Rain Forest?
● What would you need to survive?
● Where would you find shelter?● What would you eat and drink?

Windows on Weather, Climate and Landscapes
How do clouds form? Why? What does air temperature have to do with it?
How do Oxbow Lakes form? What does the stream's velocity have to do with this?
Create Virtual spaces for students to inquire about weather patterns and topography. Create a window into another world.
How did these plateaus form? What type of rock are they made of? What does weather have to do with it?
Challenge the Student to survive in this climate and write a report on how the landscape formed.

The students can be a droplet of water and travel through the water cycle.

The students can be a grain of sediment in the rock cycle.

Creating SpacesAmna and Denise Meet on Saturday morning to discuss the project.
Hi Amna, We are creating spaces in a Virtual World
Yes, I will make two slides.

Students can be a acidic molecule and travel from a factory to soil on a farm- this is useful to study acidic rain and the process by which we make it, and are impacted by it.

Have students discuss and list how acidic molecules reach the atmosphere by factories- where the molecule originiates from, what changes it undergoes, how it gets into the atmostphere?
Teacher can have students use the internet to find simulations on evaporation, condensation, clouds and weather patterns.
Students can "see" how acid rain is created, and how things that are important to our lives (factories, industry) impact the formation of acid rain
Students can then brainstorm ideas for how they believe such destruction from acid rain can be reduced.

A Space to Bond: Molecular Bonding
Students will study how to build molecules from elements while learning about covalent, hydrogen and polar bonds !

When links of atoms are made the simulation can be 'seen' in action! This makes abstract concept of molecular bonding concrete and fun!

This virtual world could be complex or simplified depending upon the classroom dynamics.
Students would make connections to the real world. Any environments can be included because molecules shape our world!

Denise, Christina, and Ralph meet in Second Life to
discuss our group's "Creating Spaces" PowerPoint before
submitting it to Slideshare.
