How to make a claymation?

Claymation videos are cool and fun to make.  It is easy to get started and doesn't require much in the way of resources.  All you really need is some clay, a digital camera and a computer!

Here are the basic  steps to make your claymation  video.

 Think of an Idea. 

       It is really important, the better or funnier or scarier your idea, the better the result!

    

  Create your Storyboard .

      Sketch out the scenes for your video, you will follow this when you take your pictures and assemble your video. 

  

 Make your Characters. 

     Take your  time, create some good characters, make them sturdy enough to stand on their own and hold their position, but flexible enough to move.

  

     Props and Background .

     These will make the video more interesting.  Choose colors that don't overwhelm your characters.

  

  Take Pictures .

     Set your character(s) up, make sure there is good lighting and start taking pictures.  You will

  need to make very small movements between pictures so that the resulting video is smooth.  

   

 Assemble your Movie.

     Upload your pictures to your computer.  Load the pictures into your video editing software (movie maker .

    

  Add Music, Sound, Voice Over and Titles.

     There are lots of great things you can do to make your video better or more interesting. Here are some of these.

(You should consider each of these.)

o    Add Music. This is something simple to do, each video editing program will allow you to upload music and add.

o    Add Sound Effects. This is similar to adding music.  The video editing programs have sound effects,can also get other sound effects that you can add

o    Add Voice Over.  The video editing programs also allow you to add voice over.  This is an easy way to have characters talk (even if you don't make their mouths move).  You can also add a narrator using voice over. 

o    Add Titles.  This is easy, add a title at the beginning and credits at the end. The video editing software

    that you are using has the ability to add titles.

How to construct a bar graph in excel?

 One of our activity on I.C.T is to conduct a survey in Cafeteria. The aim of this activity is to determine what year level, course and gender has the highest number of normalista (student) having their lunch at cafeteria and we are required to construct a graph.

There are many kinds of charts and graphs and some are easy to understand while others are tricky. They are different from one another because each one has it fairly use. It can be used to show how  thing changes over time or compare items.

Since we wanted to show what course, gender and year level have the highest number of student who are staying in cafeteria. We used bar graph.

Here are the step on creating bar graph in excel :

1. Open the excel then locate and open the spreadsheet from which you want to make a bar graph. Select all the data that you want to include in the bar graph.

2 .Include the column and row headers, which will become the labels in the bar graph ( If you want different labels type them in the appropriate header cell).

3. Choose chart from the insert menu. Make sure that the column is selected under the chart type. Select the sub type of bar graph from the display on the right and click next.

4. Make sure that the data range is correct and that column is selected in the data range tab. Enter the title of the graph for the X axis and Y axis. This will appear at the appropriate places on the bar graph.(Click the other tab and make any changes you want. Decide where to place the bar graph. It can be placed on a separate sheet or it can be embedded in the spreadsheet.)

5. Use the chart tool bar to make any final adjustments on the bar graph.(If the toolbar is not visible click view and select the toolbar menu then select chart toolbar).

 Baysai (beautiful)

Oh! It’s four o' clock in the afternoon. Its time for my I.C.T class, I' m so excited on our next activity " water marking " because we are the one who will decide what subject we are going to choose. When I entered our class room I immediately go to my groupmate and we collaborate about our activity. 

    tik tak tik tak...  Time pass....
After ten minute we decided to choose bougainvillea as our subject. Then suddenly when I looked outside, I remember when I was a child that this plant is the common ingredients on our play "luto - lutuan".I miss those days and if there' s a time machine i 'll use it to go back in the past........
   Ooppss! my mind start to travel out of this world...Let's back to reality.
We decided to choose bougainvillea because it is very abundant and it is colorful
 It is a kind of plant that is abundant in the wild and is not endangered because when it is vine like, it spreads very quickly even though it does not have seeds and also it is insects free.
This plant can reach over thirty feet. It can either be a vines, shrub or tree with sharp thorns and when we look at its leaves we can notice that it shape is like a little heart with drip tips at the ends. They are dark rich green and look almost like ivy leaves then on the undersides of it, there are little hairs.

     After we discuss, there is a question that bothered  my mind.. "What made the bougainvillea colorful? " When I arrived at home I start scanning my android and below are some facts  I gathered about bougainvillea:
What makes this plant colorful?
It's not the flower that make this plant colorful, its actually the magenta bracts. The bract can be seen in all shades of pink and purple, and also red, yellow, white, salmon and orange. The flower is just tiny and white.
Let’s have a closer look on its flower.

At first our reason why we choose bougainvillea as our subject is very lame but after I read the information I gathered, I realized that bougainvillea is a very wonderful plant and has its own unique way of life.It leaves and flowers are very unusual also. It can grow in may different ways from shrubs to vines to tress. It also lives in a very interesting place.

Human Karyotyping Laboratory

Do you want to experience karyotyping? If yes then start scrolling down....

 

Male koryotype

Below is an example of human karyotyping.( Note: before you perform this activity you must read first the background.)

Background:

    Sometimes chromosomal is lost or rearranged during the formation of gametes or during cell division of the early embryo. Such changes, primarily the result of non dis junction or 

trans location, these are so severe that the pregnancy ends in miscarriage.

       Karyotype is the chromosomal characteristic of cell. It can show prospective whether they have certain abnormalities that could be passed on to their offspring ,or it might be used to lean caused child disability. Karyotype can also reveal certain defects through examination of cells from uterine fluid. 

   To create a karyotype, chromosomes from a cell are stained and photograph.This photograph will be enlarged and cut up into individual chromosomes.(Cornet's Living Environment Laboratory)

 Aim:

The aim of this laboratory experience is understand what is karyotype and how it is perform.

 Materials:
    Scissor
    Ruler
    Glue or paste
    Small envelope

 Procedure:

       1. Using the attached sheets, complete two different type of      karyotypes: normal female and male. (work slowly and carefully).

   

      2. Using scissors cut out the chromosome one by one and find it's exact match elsewhere on the page and paste both chromosomes side by side on " data page " that has heading filled out. Continue this procedure until you have matched all the chromosomes and paste each of them in the corresponding place on the data page place.( Note: Do not cut all chromosomes and them attempt to match them; cut only one at a time  you will lose it.)Use an envelope to store any chromosomes, so that it will not lose.
