description 1Create a slide and add an object

Insert a duplicate slide by selecting the slide thumbnail and typing CTRL+D

description 3On the new slide, slightly move the object to a new position

description 4Repeat until you create the number of images you need

description 4As you cycle through the slides you’ll see the animation effect

Start:Choose to play animation by clicking the mouse button, or have animation automatically play with the previous action or after the previous action

Timing: Choose form options and enter your own speed in the textbox.

List: Reorder effects, delete effects, and make advanced timing decisions

Feedback

Comparison of three methodsfor PowerPoint animation

• Frame-based animation

• To show process or change

• Numbers of slides to create animation

FlipBook

• Easy to edit

• Combining other animations

• To show movement

• Limitations

Motion Path

Comparison

Flash Once

• create an animated sequence on one slide

• Instead of the motion path

• Hard to animate many objects on one slide

Question

Why I should use Flash Once instead

of Motion Path?

Motion path is kind of stiff when you move an object around . With Flash Once, you can move the object over a desired path and have it rotate to follow a more natural movement.

Consider the pedagogical uses…

Help students remember a part of your instruction

Represent a connection between concepts

Emphasize key point

Highlight the progression of a lecture

Add visual representation to difficult concepts

water is absorbed from the roots

chlorophyll traps sunlight and uses CO2 and water to

make food

carbon dioxide enters through

stomata

oxygen and water vapor released

Water collects in puddles and the

cycle begins again!

Practice Time

Using any of / or a combination of the

animation techniques for instruction:

• Illustrating Science concepts: life cycle of a plant, Model of Earth, Moon & Sun’s Orbit

• Drawing class

• Interactive map for history or geography

• Making scenario: Newton’s apple
