= 21st Century ~ Science ~ Creating Science Comics & = = Science Concept Flash Cards for i-Pods =



* * **Background Information:** Use a comic creator for students to communicate science understandings or vocabulary using a comic strip format. We will use a web 2.0 tool called "Bit Strips" but teachers could go "low tech" and use paper and pencil. EXAMPLE: ** Students show their understanding of a science concept or vocabulary word by creating a comic strip using Bit Strips:
