Easy Stop Motion Animation

In order to introduce how to stop motion animation, it will be shown you how to do this with an iPad or similar device, and you’ll be making your first movie in minutes. For the uninitiated, stop motion animation is a film making technique that makes inanimate objects appear to move on their own. To make it work, you place an object in front of a camera and snap a photo. You then move the object a tiny bit and snap another photo. Repeat this process twenty to ten thousand times, play back the sequence in rapid progression, and the object appears to move fluidly across the screen.

Homemade lip balm

Through this activity students will create a lip balm using natural materials. They will learn and approach, in this way, about different materials and their properties, and how to use them to create products we use daily, thus combining science and everyday life. Students will be using cocoa butter, which gives consistency and protects from the cold; wax, which regenerates and protects the skin, and oil, which works as lubricant.

This activity is to be developed individually, but it can also be developed in groups. It is focused on understanding the proprieties some natural materials have, and the way these properties can be useful for our daily life.

In this case, natural materials will be used in order to create a homemade lip balm, which will also provide students with a real alternative to using chemical made cosmetics.
