Morning Work Time

For morning work time, complete the following activities. Your goal is to find a science topic that is related to Star Wars that you would like to make something to teach others about:

1. Check out this youtube playlist about science and Star Wars!

2. Have Netflix or Hulu or something? Maybe watch a Star Wars movie! If you haven't watched the old ones, they are so much better than the new ones (in Finn's very expert point of view).

3. Check out this article about The Science of Star Wars

Example topics:

• How do space ships fly in space?
• Why do different planets look different (have different temperatures, different materials, etc.)?
• Could light sabers actually be made with technology we have now? What might that look like?
• Could Jedi's exist? How could they control people's minds? Could telekinesis be real scientifically?
• Is there likely life on other planets? How might that life be the same/different from life on Earth? Why would this be different?
• Robotics
• Artificial Intelligence
• What is the role of gravity in space?

Once you have completed the activities above, answer the question on google classroom about some Star Wars related science concepts you could teach about this afternoon. You might also want to look at your afternoon assignment because you will only have about an hour of work time in the afternoon. You may wish to start early.

Plan to return at 1PM for our afternoon session!

Afternoon Work Time

For your afternoon work time, you will create a digital lesson to share with others the Star Wars related science concept you have chosen. You can choose from the following options for creating your project:

1. Scratch - this software is a free and web-based way to create a video or interactive game to share your ideas. It also teaches you some basic programming concepts!

2. WeVideo - this website will allow you to create custom edited videos! Yay!

3. Canva - we used this last week. Use this to create a fancy poster or brochure explaining your concept.

4. You can use another platform or software of your choice if you prefer. I would like to avoid using the "same old platforms" we always use (google slides, etc.). Star Wars is all about technology, so let's try something new! It's good for your quarantined brains :)

We will come back together at 2:15 to discuss and share our projects. Attach your final project to the assignment in google classroom.
