Water cycle storytelling with AI images

Water cycle storytelling with AI images

Help students visualize the different steps of the water cycle (evaporation and transpiration, condensation, and precipitation) with AI generated images.

Teaching goals

Teaching goals

Learning the different steps of the water cycle is a common objective for elementary school science students, and AI can be used to better engage students while also creating opportunities for differentiation.

Below, we can see an example where a teacher has provided a basic learning objective that would be suitable for elementary school students.

Next, Flint automatically creates an AI tutor to help students learn the steps of the water cycle in a storytelling activity.

To make this activity easier to use for students with difficulties in writing or reading, the teacher can turn on the speech-to-text and text-to-speech support for this AI tutor.

Input and output methods set too allow writing, speaking, reading, and listening.

Additionally, the teacher can use the “revise” feature to ask the AI to visualize each step of the water cycle, once students can demonstrate their understanding of it.

Revise feature request of "Generate an image after each step of the water cycle that students demonstrate their understanding of."

Student experience

Once students engage with the AI — either by typing in a response or verbally speaking to the AI — the AI tutor will help guide them towards a more comprehensive understanding of the topic.

After a student is able to demonstrate their understanding of a given step of the water cycle, the AI will help students visualize that step by generating an image!
