How Stuff Works, 10th grade AOIT

March 19, 2008

Over Spring Break draw a series of pictures to show “HOW SOMETHING WORKS.” You can choose your own subject: How does pedaling a bicycle make the wheels turn? How do you make chocolate chip cookies? How does pressing a key on a keyboard make the letter “A” appear on the screen?

Go to the website howstuffworks.com for ideas and inspiration.

When you return to class you will take the series of drawings you created and turn it into a Flash animation showing HOW SOMETHING WORKS.
