The Day After Tomorrow: The Prequel review

Feb 4th, 2009

I found The Day After Tomorrow's trailer on YouTube at the following link:

If you have RealPlayer it gives you the option to download clips from YouTube, so you don't have to load up the page to show it to your students.

The Day After Tomorrow: The Prequel review

Nov 2nd, 2007

I've used this one before, the prequel had an amazing effect. I am now at a different school and I am having problems accessing it. The downloaded clip is not accepted on the school system and I can't seem to get directly to the prequel to show from the site.
Any ideas anyone because I really would like to use this brilliant attention grabber again.

Physics and fashion.

Feb 9th, 2006

I have just told everybody in my department about these mega fantastic resources. My mentor came to see me teach magnets and I used the Physics and fashion resource, and she thought it was a brilliant activicty and gave an excellent feedback. All the children were engaged and enjoyed, and they learned both about magnets and about modelling in one.

The day after tomorrow upd8 activity

Jun 19th, 2005

I used this activity with a low ability group, and found it to be very successful at grabbing the pupils attention. I adapted it to our current SoW which relates global warming to deforestation and pollution. Instead of getting the pupils to plan a flood warning system, I had them role play so one sert of students are the multinationals who need the land for grazing cattle, the native indians, the scientific community and general public. The activity is an excellent one, which I will definately use again. It can be easily be adapted to the context in which you wish to teach and for both KS3 and 4. Well Done Upd8 team, keep up the good work!!

Flood alert

Apr 19th, 2005

I used this with a year 9 higher ability class, who thoroughly enjoyed it. They welcomed the opportunity to use constructive talk with one another and had detailed (and occasionally heated) discussions about the strategies that they thought were best.

All the students were able to grasp the science relating to the activity and to weigh up the alternatives. They appreciated that some of the ways of paying for their strategy could not be implemented because they would be too unpopular, even though they felt that they were the 'right' solutions to the problem.

The activity was a very useful combination of citizenship and science. It took about thirty minutes and at the end, students had to present their ideas to me. I took the role of a voter and rewarded the winning party with my 'vote' - a praise card each.

Day After Tomorrow

Mar 20th, 2005

I combined the activity of the Prequel with the main activity to create a whole 55 min lesson for some Year 7 pupils who were off timetable. I felt it linked particularly well with Year 7 Energy Resources.
The pupils were very interested and motivated. One word of warning - the video trailer for the film cannot be displayed using a data-projector (this is blocked under a copyright restriction).
