Watch the video featured above from the NY Times about scientists who are creating animations about the complex inner machinery of living cells. Hopefully we will able to view some of these animations in our classrooms:)
the video wasn't working/ loading but it sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat was sooooo interesting! I hope we can see the animations in class... :)
ReplyDeleteI like the digital view of the molecules and cells, etc. Some of the parts reminded me of video games or something...

Wow, it would be fun to be like Janet, animating molecules all day. It would be like playing video games, except that it would be for other people to study too!
ReplyDelete-Sofia Collins 7G
Those animations are really pretty!
ReplyDelete-Sofia Collins, 7G
I'm very surprised that people have never used computer animation to create video representations of microscopic life. I also did a little bit of extra research and watched the video that they mentioned. It's called, "The Inner Life of the Cell" and you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mszlckmc4Hw.
ReplyDeleteIt's very cool and you can really see how much work was put into adapting the cell into an animation. I think that it would be a good idea to show that video in class, as it would be really helpful as a visualization.

wow!! that was so cool...
ReplyDelete-lucy b. 7a
This video was interesting. Do you have any more videos to post? These are pretty helpful to me.

It must be very complicated to animate molecules. It must've taken a long time to learn... Anyhow, it's really interesting, and the information is accurate.
ReplyDelete~~Mackenzie Connelly, 7G~~
It looks really cool, and it must be so awesome to actually be able to make those animations! I hope we can see more videos on the blog... they help a lot!
ReplyDeleteMackenzie Connelly, 7G
Wow. That video was amazing! I literally couldn't take my eyes off the screen. I can't even imagine how the inside of a cell can be so complex. It's also kind of weird how science and animation are coming together, but i think that getting a better visualization on the inside of a cell would be great! I really enjoyed this video and i hope more like this one are posted!
ReplyDelete-Liliana P. 7A
Thats cool! we should watch the full video's in class. Also, that British guys accent was weird. Or whatever he was.
ReplyDeletelila c 7a
This was very interesting! I have always wanted to see the inside of a cell and this really helped me understand!
ReplyDeleteJackie Z. 7f
Wow! This is amazing! I agree with Mackenzie.... it must have been hard to learn this, let alone make the animations!

that was fascinating. in my opinion, when they zoom in to see the specific parts, u get kinda lost about what organelle it is.
ReplyDelete-nicole n. 7a
That is really, really cool. The animations must have taken forever. It was also really helpful to learn all about this.
ReplyDeletethose animations were really cool and interesting!
ReplyDeleteAugust G. 7E
this link didnt work for me, but when i checked another computer, it worked! Its really cool, keep posting videos!!
ReplyDeleteMina M 7E
Wow, that was amazing. I agree with both Edie and Mackenzie, those animations must of took like forever.
ReplyDeleteNicolette V 7g
That looked really, cool, and it was interesting and informative.
ReplyDeleteI think animations are a great way to get kids interest in topics like these...the animations really were beautiful and well done!
ReplyDelete-Claudia F. 7A
cool way to combine fun and learning!
ReplyDelete- Isadora N. 7E
The link didn't work :'( It sounded interesting
ReplyDelete- Isadora N. 7E
Wow! These cell animations are amazing! They are really helpful in understanding cell activities, behavior, and the organelles. It's interesting how people like Janet actually went to Hollywood just to familiarize themselves with the software used for animation. While the rest of her group wanted to get into the entertainment industry, she used the software for science. I admire her work purpose and determination. I hope that scientists discover more about cells and organism behavior!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, Leslie!
~Andrea C. 7A
These animations are really cool!
ReplyDeleteKelly L. 7E
This video really helped me. Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteBrian O. 7B
WOW this is cool. Watching the moving animations is helpful. Plus, i think the video itself is cool. How do they do this?
ReplyDeleteSAraf R. 7F
At first the link didn't work... but after I got it, it was really cool and interesting! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDelete-Paola Wernick 7E
The animations of the cell were very interesting. This was very helpful.
ReplyDelete-Eugene Ng 7H
Wow this is amazing. I didn't think that the same technology used in video games and films is also used for understanding parts of the cell.
ReplyDeletethose animations are really cool
ReplyDeleteElliot W. 7B
Cool animations. Animations and science work well together!!!
ReplyDeleteThis had really cool animations! Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDelete-Ashley L. 7A
Yeah.... my computer wasn't loading the page. it sounds cool though
ReplyDelete-Edie H 7G
This video is really awesome

It's really long but it tells a lot
