Science8: Cells & Systems Exam Prep

Here are the Kahoots we did.

Osmosis and Diffusion

A cell is Like

Parts of  a Cell

Parts of a Microscope


Here are the Key points from our Unit.

1.0 Characteristics of Living Things
They are made of cells, require energy, grow and develop, respond to their surroundings,
reproduce and have adaptations to survive
All organisms have structures which perform specific life functions
Animals have organs and different organs that work together to perform a common function
are organized into organ systems

2.0 Cells play a vital role
A Microscope is a scientific tool used to see very small structures
The cell is the basic unit of life - all organisms have at least one cell
Structures in cells are called organelles which carry out specific life functions
Organisms can be single celled or multi-celled
Substances move in and out of cells by diffusion and osmosis
All cells have a selectively permeable membrane vs permeable or impermeable
Cells organize into tissue, then tissue forms organs and organs work together to make organ systems

3.0 Healthy Human Body Systems
Digestive System, Circulatory System & Respiratory System

itallics are tested at a lower level than the first two key points

Brick Animation 07: Storyboarding

Today we are: learning how setup a story.

I will: learn how storyboard a scene to create a variety of shots.

I can: use a variety of shots to create a scene. I can: storyboard a short clip, trailer or scene.

Alright.  Now is the time to craft your animation.  Setting up for your first scene means you need to know your shots.

1.  Watch this clip and watch how simple the filming is for the conversation between the robot and the main character.




2.  Use the storyboard sheets to script out a short scene or trailer like scene.  Here are some sample shots or these top 30!

PROJECT: Storyboard your Script.  It should include 3 scenes, each having at least 5 camera angles.

Brick Animation 06: Camera Angles

Today we are: Learning about the different camera angles.

I will: use 5 different angles to create a scene.

I can: select at least 5 different film angles I can: take enough pictures for 5 to 10 seconds of film I can: share the completed project with Mr. Iwaasa

Today we are learning that we need to change are camera angle.   OFTEN!

Here are some examples of typical shots.

If you want to get more complex, you can add moving camera shots.  Here are the typical examples.

1.  Pick simple scene to shoot
2.  pick 3 to 5 unique camera angles to shoot
3.  Shoot your scene, making sure you take 10 - 20 pictures per angle.
4.  Add effects and voices.
5.  Upload your movie so Mr. I can share your work.
6.  Good Luck!

PROJECT: 5 - 10 seconds of filming with 5 camera angles.
