DESCRIPTION OF INTERACTIVE

The idea here is for students to identify different forms of tropism based on a gif image of the motion. There will be an image similar to this:

This is an image of a chart for the tropisms interactive.

There will then be a series of gifs that show the tropism. The students will drag the gif (or a letter beside each gif) to where it belongs on the board. For example, a gif showing positive phototropism should be dragged to the ‘positive’ in the ‘Phototropism’ box.

If they are correct, the gif stays where placed. If incorrect, the gif will go back to where it was originally located (or whatever ‘Check your answer’ system works best).

The gifs are below with the form of tropism written above it.
