Check out these quick lesson ideas for teachers on how to use a BookWidgets Before/After activity in the classroom.
Discover the magic of light refraction in this fun Before & After widget activity. Students explore how light bends when it moves through air and water, creating a surprising optical illusion. After watching the simple experiment, they can try it themselves and see the arrow change direction right in front of their eyes.
Bring language learning to life through a meaningful before and after activity. Students read a sonnet that reflects on the changes to Grinnell Glacier and examine two images showing the glacier in its early years and today. In pairs, they discuss the poem and visuals to build descriptive and interpretive language skills.
Encourage observation and analysis by letting students compare a place in the world across two different years. The interactive slider makes changes over time clearly visible, helping students connect visual evidence to real-world issues. It's a powerful way to spark discussion or introduce new topics in geography lessons.
Introduce students to the concept of human evolution with an interactive slider that visually shows the progression of early humans to modern Homo sapiens. This activity is perfect for activating prior knowledge or highlighting the specific stage of evolution being discussed. It’s an engaging way to make abstract concepts more concrete in your history lessons.
Students compare two images of the same place taken years apart, describing the changes they notice. This activity encourages the use of past tenses and comparative forms, helping to expand vocabulary and improve speaking fluency. It’s an engaging way to develop both language skills and visual observation.
Make labeling exercises more engaging with interactive Before/After sliders. Students can explore images step by step, revealing names, labels, or key details, which reinforces visual learning and terminology retention. This flexible tool works for anatomy, geography, science, art, and other subjects, turning traditional labeling activities into dynamic learning experiences that boost student engagement.
