She's also going to use the record feature so later students can use it to write a lab report with the process they used, etc. I think they are so many great uses for it in a science class.

So lets say you were waiting for eggs to hatch...but you know they always do overnight or over a weekend! So, you can set your document camera to take a snapshot at whatever interval you set it to for up to three days. That way when you get back to class on Monday, and the eggs have hatched you can go back though the images and see how it happened. quote: Originally posted by sharonwidmayer my colleague is going to do owl pellet experiments and use the DC so the students can see what she is doing when she models what they will do.

I can see so many uses for that feature...hatching the eggs, of course, plant growth, butterfly metamorphosis...the possibilities are endless! I don't have a doc cam (yet!) but I want one SO BAD. I can think of so many ways that it could be used in my kindergarten classroom.

Then you could use those pictures for a slide show for parents night or use the pictures for the yearbook!

The crabs never come out when the kids are around because they are noisy. They would love to see them in action. It would also help to track the tunnels that the ants make over time.

That's a great idea. I have snails and they never come out either.

I have used it to do read alouds so the kids can actully see the details in the pictures. I also use it to model good responses or answers to questions from a story. The kids can actully see me writing on the worksheet they should be to. This way they have an exact example in the same format color and all. It would be amazing to have one to use all the time.
