Hi science folks!
I wanted to change up how my biology students practice tonicity problems and identifying hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. I thought animated gifs would be a great way for students to show the results of different scenarios, so I created this lesson activity in Keynote.
I added in 10 different scenarios and each group of students will be assigned one. Instructions are included on the first slide and an example set of slides at the end. Our campus is 1:1 iPads so I locked all the text and elements that student
If time allows, I'll use Freeform or Padlet for students to share their final creations and answer some reflection questions. This will be my first time using Keynote for GIF creation with students. I'd love any suggestions or feedback the community has to offer.
Hope this helps!

This is great, CallieB!
So much work has gone into your template too! Incredibly well-detailed! đ
It might be worth experimenting with video as an option for the final output, as well as Animated GIF. This would make it easier for students/the teacher to pause the process if needed. Or, they could add voiceover narration to it (either as they screen record or added later using iMovie, etc.)
Itâs also interesting to really lean into what Animated GIFs do best â loop! Try get students to animate processes cyclical processes, and encourage them to get it to line up and restart smoothly. Lots of fun and a great challenge for them!
