They just watched this movies....I need help coming up with educational questions for these kids..they just watched transformers now i got to give them good questions..not about the movies but general questions like ..As you seen in the move their was many obstacles in achieving their goals...do you have obstacles trying to achieve your goal?|||You don't specify what age group or grade level you teach, but why don't you try asking age or grade level appropriate questions such as...
'If you could be any one of the Transformers, which one would it be and why?'
'With each of the Transformers having a different goal to reach, how would you compare your goals, hopes and dreams to those that they experienced and how do you think you might be able to get there.' (Have them be very specific, such as, if the child wants to be become an animal veterinarian, he or she needs to specify that they have to take biology, science and things that relate to animal medicine and not just say 'I want to be a vet because I like animals').
'What obstacles do you see as getting in the way of how you might achieve your chosen goals and how would you get around them to reach that goal?'|||I guess the moral is that we shouldn't chose our friends because of the way they look.????
Dodge or Ford|||depends on the grade you're teaching.
Math; focus on the shapes they can see on each transformer, for young students you may want to ask them to find as many shapes and to name them, write them down, and draw them. You may also ask them where else they could find these shapes; in the classroom, school, or at home
For older students you may want to introduce geometry concepts to them using the same shapes. Area, perimeter, volume of triangles, quadrilaterals, etc.
The weight and height of the transformers? Concepts of measurement.
You can create several world problems using characters from the movie; for example if Optimus Prime weighs 7 tons, and a ton equals 2,000lbs, how many lbs does Optimus Prime weigh? If Bumblebee weighs 1/3 of Optimus' Prime weight, how much does he weigh? (algebra and division right there).
Science; study the planets, ask them what planet they think the transformers came from? An icy planet, a warm planet, a hot planet? What were they made of, steel, iron, aluminum, and where do you find these elements? What are the properties of these elements? (intro. periodic table of elements, atomic numbers, atomic weights, molecules, alloys)
Use the Hoover Dam and the cycle of a hydroelectric plant to study electricity, how are dams built? why is it important to create dams? what is the importance of water in a dry climate? how do we get water to our homes? what are the chemical properties of water? H2O? Have them create their own dams using pans, dirt, rocks, water. What are the different types of dams?
The different parts of a robot; the head, arms, legs, abdomen, name the parts on a human body.
English/Language Arts; tell them to write a creative short story; what do you think happened to the transformers after the end of the movie? How would a robot survive on earth? How do robots help people out? What are some examples in which people use robots today? What controls a robot? How are computers useful?
They may research robotics, how are cars built? robots used in medicine?
What's the importance of friendship? What is faithfulness?
write a haiku, write an alliterative poem with onomatopoeia's using transformers, etc.
In the movie different robots turn into different types of forms of travel; airplanes, trains, cars, trucks, jets, boats. What is your favorite form of travel? How would you get to France? would you walk, take a train, take a bicycle?
Art; let them create their own transformers using cups, boxes, cardboard pieces, paint, and let them create their own names for their own transformers. Let them work in groups to create the robots, or individually, or how about separating the class into different groups, assigning each group different body parts like the head, legs, abdomen, arms, and then having all the groups bring all the parts together creating one whole transformer.
PE; my kid usually play this really fun game called pacman tag where instead of running all over the place from the person or persons who are it, the kids walk or speedwalk (because remember some students have a hard time running) on the lines of a basketball court or volleyball court on the field. You may want to change the rules and call it Transformer tag, pick 2 people who are it, they'll be the decepticons (the antagonists) and the rest of the class has to be the good transformers, but they have to walk like robots, no running of course. The two remaining students will be the one who are "it" in the next round.
just use your imagination and incorporate concepts from the movie with whatever unit you're teaching.
