Online Cams

Watch Fall's Celebration of Color on Indiana's Leaf Cams!
There are some zoo webcams also.

------------
The activity I designed before :

Activity Name: My Garden
Target Audience: K-12
Subject: Biology/ Science
Learning Styles: observational learning
Purpose: to find out the releationship between "weathers or temperature changes" and "the colors of leves"

Task:
1. Link to "Leaf Cam" and "weather. com"
2. Record the color of leaves (by text or screen camera) and the daily average temperature for a month.
3. Build a table or a chart to show the changes
4. Try to find the relationship and to interpret it. Share their findings online!
5. The teacher could also use this chart to build a simulation that when students scroll the bar of temp. they will see the color changes.
