Ideas for Slow-Motion studies in Science
(2) Slideshow - Embed ONE of theses slow motion videos in an instructional slideshow. Include text and annotations to explain the phenomena
(3) Explanatory Video - Create an explanatory video from your slide with annotations. Use your video in class to engage the class as learners with your discrepant event.
(4) Reflections on use in the classroom - Describe how this activity was employed and its effectiveness.
Slow Moiton
Slow Motion photography is a valuable photographic technique for analyzing scientific processes that would otherwise be too fast to observe. Most phones cameras record at 24-30 frames/second, which for normal daily activities creates a smooth image. Many phone cameras record at 120 fps or 240 fps. When played at normal speed, the motion is slowed down up to 8 times, allowing for more detailed observations. In addition, since there are many more frames per second, it is easier to capture significant events that would be missed if recorded at 24-30 fps.
