Photosynthesis-How Plants Make Food
Demo: https://jodisdemos.s3.amazonaws.com/367+Photosynthesis/story.html
Download: https://jodisdemos.s3.amazonaws.com/%23367+The+Process+of+Photosynthesis.story
I chose this topic because on Friday when the challenge was announced I had just taken a walk in Sunnylands Botanical Garden here in Rancho Mirage, CA. I was reading about how desert plants can thrive with almost no water, and that led me to this demo. It's a drag-drop with hint feedback. I built it as a free-from test question and found an issue--I wanted to lock in the correct drag-drop position and couldn't find a way to do it in the question options, so I had to create "veil layers" to keep people from moving a drag item after it was placed in the correct area. If there is a better way to do this please share it!
And if you have never heard of Sunnylands, here's a link: https://sunnylands.org/visit-the-gardens/ It is quite beautiful at this time of year because we have Palo Verde trees blooming. Enjoy the week!

Thank you for this demo, Jodi. I wanted to build out a Rise course I made on pollinator gardens to have a more interactive feature, and your demo is exactly what I was looking for. I'll be using your example to learn and improve.
- JodiSansone3 years agoCommunity MemberOh, I just found your pollinator course in your profile! I learned so much! Just seeing you mention black-eyed susans made me miss my old Connecticut garden. I've still learning about gardening in the desert and have come to appreciate what survives here. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
