Mitosis Motion Graphics

Title: Mitosis Motion Graphics

Grade level: 7th Grade Science

Time Required: Class Period

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Use the Keynote App on the iPad to create shapes and magic moves to illustrate the steps of mitosis.
• Understand the different phases of mitosis and the events that occur in each phase.
• Demonstrate their knowledge of mitosis by creating Keynote shapes, and using magic move to animate the shapes.
• Export Keynote as a movie and share it to a Canvas Discussion.

Materials Needed:

• iPads Updated and Charged
• Keynote App 
• Screen recording, Clips, or iMovie
• Canvas course module with pre-made activities and assignments
• Rubrics for assessment

Preparing (5 minutes):

Draw new shapes by combining or grouping existing shapes.

Animate shapes using Magic Move, or use motion paths, or other types of actions.

Combine actions to create more complex animations.

Add text boxes to include animated titles, vocabulary words, quotes, or messages.

Export your Keynote animation as a looping movie and save it to your camera roll in the Photos App.

1. Mitosis/Meiosis will be taught prior to building Motion Graphic.
2. Share the learning objectives with the students and explain how this lesson will help them meet these objectives.
3. Direct students to the Canvas course module, where they will find instructions, activities, and assignments for this lesson.

Activating (10 minutes):
