Creating Water Cycle Flipbooks (Introduction to Animation)
by Robert Lane
This lesson is an introduction to Animation. The Flipbook lessons will eventually lead into students creating a Stop Motion animation. This lesson can be used for grades 3rd - 8th grade. The students will learn about the history of animation and create their first Flipbook. Students will be able to animate a single line (Flying Arrow) and produce their first Flipbook. They will also animate a phase of The Water Cycle. Once the students have completed their Flipbooks, they will record their Flipbooks on their Chromebooks. The students will upload their Flipbooks to the class Padlet.
This lesson could be modified for almost any topic being covered.
