Bee Observations and Skitch in 2nd Grade
Our second grade students are learning about plants and bees in a unit on pollination, Mrs. Hays' students decided to combine their research with an iPad app called Skitch. The students used a QR code to visit a website with a variety of interesting bee images. They examined each photo carefully...taking notes about what they noticed about the body, the head, the wings, and pollen. Next, students chose their favorite photo and used the Skitch app to add featured facts about bees. One student said, "This looks just like a picture you would see in a Science book!" This is a great way for students to demonstrate their understanding and create a beautiful informational poster at the same time. Skitch is an app they will use for many projects in the future.
