My two boys recently completed a science project on a chosen biome. We have been looking in depth at many different biomes for the past couple months using this study. For their project they had to:
- Choose a biome.
- Find out what animals from that biome were at our local zoo.
- Go to the zoo and take pictures from animals from their preselected biome.
- Identify the animals in the pictures and create a movie in Windows Movie Maker.
My younger son just had to write the names of the animals on the pictures. My older son had to research or remember a fact about the animal and add that to his movie. They each chose the music to go with their little movie.
I love this, and I’m bookmarking it to show my 7-year-old later. I never thought about using photos in Windows Movie Maker. Ah … the possibilities! 🙂
