Teacher prepares (or takes a ready-made quiz from the library) an Arc Quest quiz with some necessary vocabulary on the chosen topic (e.g. nature topic: bird, fish, bear, elk (moose), hare, spider, forest, tree, river, flower, grass, hill, mountain, stone/rock etc.


Learn some basic prepositions of place. 


Take the Arc Quest quiz to learn the vocabulary.


In the class:
1st lesson: Open the app, log into your teacher account, start lessons and invite pairs or small groups to join. (Join code if they are on mobile devices or the join link if they are using stationary devices).
Students themselves co-create a project (forest and river or any other background/environment) in pairs or groups of three. They have learned some topical vocabulary and prepositions already, so they should be encouraged to talk with each other while creating the environment.

 
2nd lesson: Students practice the given vocabulary with at ARC Quest quiz once more (or they have done it earlier).
Students work in pairs and practise. They ask each other questions and answer them (e.g. Where is the elk? The elk is by the river).

 
Additional activities

Students can also be more creative and make up stories or add objects during the speaking activity.

Trip to the Moon (International)

Grade(s): 5-7

Subject: Space

Grade(s): 5-7

Activity time: 45 mins (1 lesson)

Apps/EdTech Tools: ARC Create Web App/Mobile App & ARC Space Web App/Mobile App+Space Poster

Additional materials: Tablets or mobile phones


Objectives:


Activities:

Use the ARC Space app to check the distance between the Sun and the Earth and the ARC Create app to create imaginary Moon life.


Ask kids to draw the solar system and the location of planets. What planets do they know? What is their order? How far away are they?  Discuss how far or near the Moon is to the Earth. What would happen if the Moon was closer to the Earth? What would happen if the Moon was further from the Earth?

Watch the videos with your students and discuss:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWo1Gx53l3M

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM21GBJecx0

Open the ARC Space app and create a lesson, invite your students with the join code (if they are using mobile devices) or the join link (if they are using stationary devices). Select "Rocket Puzzle", your students will automatically follow you. Let the students build different rockets in ARC Space, launch them and select the Moon as destination.


Imagine your own life on the Moon. Switch from ARC Space to ARC Create to illustrate how life on the Moon could look like with Augmented Reality. Open the ARC Create app and create a new project with the moon as background. Share the project with the students via the project code. They will be able to all collaborate in one project and create their own fictional ecosystem on the moon. 


Additional ideas:

Depending on the size of your class, you might want to split them up into 4 groups and create 4 separate projects for each of them. In this case the class will go more smoothly if you create the projects beforehand and write down the project codes somewhere, so you can quickly share them. 

You can also let each group select a presenter that will present and explain their project to the rest of the class. This will work best if you access the project and share your screen/use a projector/show it on a touchboard.


Questions outline: 

What is the Moon?

What facts about the Moon do you know?

How far is the Moon from the Earth?

How far are other planets from the Moon?

What could life on the Moon look like?

Questions’ outline: 

(Hebrew) הבנת הוראות כתובות - בניית פרוייקט

Garde(s): 2-4

תחום הדעת:  שפה

נושא: הבנת הוראות כתובות

מיועד לכתות: ב-ד (ניתן להתאים לגילאים בוגרים מעט, ע"י העלאת מורכבות ההוראות הכתובות).

זמן הפעילות: 60 דקות (45 דקות  + 15 דקות).

כלים טכנולוגיים: arc create

 

מטרות הלמידה:

התלמידים יכירו את צורת הציווי ויוכלו לבנות אותה באופן עצמאי.

התלמידים יבינו ויבצעו באופן מדויק הוראות כתובות בצורת ציווי.

התלמידים יבינו כי לעתים, הוראות זהות עשויות להביא לתוצאות שונות ויבחינו בין ביצוע  תקין של הוראות לבין חריגה מהן.

 

הפעילות:

·       התלמידים יקראו סט הוראות בצורת ציווי, ויסמנו את מילות ההוראה.

·       התלמידים ישלימו טבלת פעלים, תוך הסתמכות על פעלים בגופים ובזמנים שונים על מנת ליצור הוראות בצורת ציווי ולהיפך.

·       התלמידים יקבלו סט הוראות בצורת ציווי לבניית פרויקט ב- arc create  ויבצעו את הפרויקט (מצ"ב).

·       במליאת הכתה או בקבוצות קטנות יותר: התלמידים יציגו את הפרויקטים שביצעו ותתקיים שיחה על מגוון הפרויקטים שהוצגו, ההבדלים ביניהם ומקורות ההבדלים (ביצוע הוראה "פתוחה",  חריגה מהוראה).
