Stop-motion video used to learn chemistry laws at R-MA
Last week in Ms. Lane’s Honors Chemistry class at Randolph-Macon Academy, students were asked to complete a creative project about gas laws. Lane explains, “I wanted a project that would help them learn about the basic gas laws before we moved into more complex problems with gases.”
Students used stop-motion techniques to create educational videos about Boyle’s Law, Gay-Lussac’s Law, and Charles Law. Watch these videos to enjoy some of the top videos created for the class! What a great way to learn and retain information.
