During the last couple of weeks of school Biology students’ final project was to design and plant a digital garden. Students designed their garden as a means to learn about plant structure and function. They produced a detailed 2D design of their garden using either the sketching tools in Notability or the shape tools in Pages. They then created a presentation to pull all of their research together using Prezi and its zooming features, including additional detail on at least 3 plants that mature per growing season. Students also created a 3D sculpture of a plant which they could then screenshot and label within the presentation. For the 3D work we used the Sculptris app on the library iMacs.
A couple of their finished presentations are embedded below, as well as some photos of the students working on different areas of the project:
