This is the first of the movies I’ve made using a cheap web cam. The whole class was involved and I edited it in a few minutes using Windows Movie Maker. Sorry if you’re looking at a blank space; that’s because your network is probably filtering You Tube.
The webcam is very simple to use and provides suprisingly good images. It is a great way of working with students who find it hard to express themselves on paper.
Instructions on making the flume as used in the film may be found at Juicy Geography.

Thanks for this, just got a new physics lab tech and have persuaded her to build me a flume over Christmas so good for inspiration. Just need to think about how to make films using a web cam - got one and IT literate but a bit old school with the video stuff. MArk - the aberant bee HofGeog St Bees
