Gizmo Simulation and Lab Procedures

Mrs. Cassell introduces a virtual lab using Gizmo, a simulated lab experience for remote learning. Students are guided on setting up their Gizmo accounts, joining the class, and using the simulation to observe and measure animal motion. The video also covers using Kami for document annotation and provides detailed instructions for completing the lab, including recording observations and answering questions.

What is the primary purpose of the Measuring Motion Lab?

• To learn about the solar system

• To simulate a lab experience remotely

• To study plant growth

• To observe chemical reactions

What should you do if you don't have a Gizmo account?

• Create a new account using your personal email

• Contact the teacher for a new account

• Join the class using the directions provided

• Use a friend's account

What indicates that you are not signed into the Gizmo?

• The simulation does not load

• You receive an error message

• The screen turns red

• A five-minute timer appears

What should you do if you see a five-minute timer in Gizmo?

• Contact technical support

• Log out and log back in

• Restart your computer

• Ignore it and continue

What should you use to log into the Gizmo account?

• A guest account

• Your personal email

• A temporary password

• Your student username and password

What can you observe in the Gizmo simulation?

• Wild animals and blue land rovers

• Chemical reactions

• Plant growth

• Weather patterns

What tool is used to annotate documents in the lab?

• Adobe Acrobat

• Microsoft Word

• Google Docs

• Cami

How can you measure the speed of an animal in the lab?

• By calculating distance divided by time

• By observing its color

• By counting its steps

• By measuring its weight

What is the distance between the trees in the Gizmo simulation?

• 15 meters

• 20 meters

• 10 meters

• 5 meters

What is the purpose of the playback button in the Gizmo?

• To record new data

• To replay recorded footage

• To delete previous recordings

• To pause the simulation
