__About this Project__
The students were given the task to make a stop motion animation of the cell cycle. They had learned only the basics of the cell cycle in class so they needed to look up more detailed information in their book and the internet. Each group of 4 students was given a laptop, digital camera, flash drive, light, tripod and various "junk" to use for their project. They were given very little direction about how to go about creating their animation as my goal was for them to learn by doing and rely on each other. One day of class was given to plan the movements of their cell parts, the next two days were devoted to taking the pictures as their cells moved through the cell cycle, on the fourth day the students transfered their pictures from their flash drives to the thaw spaces on their laptops and on the 5th and final day they placed their photos into Movie Maker and created their finished product.
