Sports Science Videos/Chemisty of Cooking Videos

Class: Integrated Science A: Chemistry of Cooking Video
Integrated Science B: Sports Science Video

Unit: Culminating Project for ninth grade students

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to combine several concepts that the students have learned into a culminating activity: a video created and presented by a group of students.

Objectives:
 Students will work in groups, using teamwork skills to produce a product.
 Students will create a storyboard for use in their pre-video planning.
 Students will create a video using chapter vocabulary and at least four concepts learned in the unit.

Materials:
Foreach group of three students:
• Flipcam
• Poster/markers in order to create a storyboard
• Project assignment explanation and rubric

Opening Activity (≈40 min):
 Integrated A: Watch a video of Alton Brown on “Good Eats”, from Food Network. Then, brainstorm cooking terminology that relates to chemistry (i.e. homogeneous mixtures vs. heterogeneous mixtures, physical vs. chemical changes, compounds vs. elements).
 Integrated B: Watch a video of “Sports Science” from ESPN. Then, brainstorm motion terminology that relates to sports (i.e. Newton’s Laws of Motion, speed, velocity, acceleration, momentum).

Lesson:
 The students will present their assignment to the class after working on it in class for two days. The rest of the time spent on this assignment will be done as homework, out of school.
 Group Work/Assessment:
o Rubric is provided.
