    In the seconds boxes there are several pieces of material, such as different types of metals, plastics, textiles (six in total). Pupils have to complete a crossword and they can obtain a code of letters ad number.They should enter this code in a digital platform (Google Classroom), in order, to watch an interactive video about materials (2'5 minutes). They must answer the questions appearing in the video. Answering the questions correctly a clue-code will appear and they can open the padlock of the third box. I'll use two types of programmes to prepare interactive videos (H5P and Edpuzzle) Both work with differents digital platform.

    I use two types of programmes to prepare interactive videos (H5P and Edpuzzle). The first is more complex to manage but it is free software. The second one is simpler. The two programmes work in any digital education platform. When the students answer the questions inside the video and they finish. The programmes produce a personalized spreedsheet with the results. .-- Preparing the first interactive video about materials (2'5 minutes). .-- Preparing the second interactive ideo about electricity (2 minutes).
