Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - 🔍 The Scientific Influencer's Mission

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: To enable students to apply their knowledge in a practical and communicative way while also honing video editing and visual communication skills.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will play the role of digital influencers for a day! Their task is to create a short video, as if they were YouTubers or TikTokers, illustrating how the calculation of the volume and surface area of a cylinder applies to real-life instances. They can select applications from engineering, architecture, culinary arts, or any other intriguing field. They should utilise video editing apps and incorporate visual effects to make the lesson more captivating.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of no more than 5 students.

  • Each group should pick a theme that showcases the practical application of cylinders.

  • Students must use their phones for filming and video editing applications like InShot or CapCut for editing.

  • Encourage them to include graphics and animations to illustrate the calculations (using apps like Canva).

  • Once done, the videos can be shared within the class group on WhatsApp or through a video-sharing platform like Google Classroom.

  • Allot time to view some of the videos created in class and discuss the insights and learning experiences.

Activity 2 - 🏗️ Digital Architects: Designing a Playground

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: To encourage the application of learned concepts in a digital landscape, fostering students' creativity and spatial reasoning.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will employ 3D modeling software, such as Tinkercad, to design a playground featuring cylindrical elements. They must calculate the volume of each element and the surface area that requires painting.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group should access Tinkercad and set up an account (if not already registered).

  • Groups should design a playground with at least three cylindrical components (e.g., slide, swing posts, pipes).

  • Each group has to calculate the volume and surface area of each cylindrical feature in the playground.

  • Students must include a presentation in Tinkercad to explain their calculations and findings.

  • The projects can be showcased in class where students discuss the hurdles and takeaways from the process.

Activity 3 - 🧪 Scientist's Challenge: Perfect Mixture

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: To empower students to apply their cylinder volume knowledge in real-world contexts, leveraging digital tools for complex problem-solving.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students must tackle a practical problem involving the mixing of liquids in cylindrical containers. Each group will receive a distinct scenario and must calculate the amounts of each component needed for the perfect mixture, using online mixture simulation applications.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Assign a scenario to each group, such as mixing juices, safe chemicals, or ingredients in a commercial kitchen.

  • Each group should use an online mixture simulator, such as ChemCollective, to ascertain the correct proportions.

  • Students must then calculate the total volume required and assess if the available cylindrical container is suitable.

  • Groups should construct a digital presentation that details the steps and calculations undertaken.

  • Allow time for groups to present their solutions and discuss the challenges faced.

Feedback

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

The aim of this phase is to solidify the knowledge gained through reflection and experience sharing. By discussing and providing feedback, students can evaluate their learning journeys, acknowledge their contributions, and identify areas needing enhancement. This not only fosters interpersonal skills and critical thinking but also underscores the value of collaboration and effective communication in learning environments.

Group Discussion
