For this project, it was really easy to use Picasa and Google Presentation. It was also really easy to embed each of those things. It's also nice how easy it is to change the resolution of a picture on an apple computer. The hardest part of the project was honestly finding things to match the descriptions for the scavenger hunt in 40 minutes.
I instantly thought this project would be a great summary of physics concepts. Students could take pictures of things illustrating various physical principles (fluid dynamics, angular momentum, friction, etc.) I would also ask students to explain the principle and demonstrate how each thing illustrates its associated principle.
If I were doing this project I would allow more time for students to think/find the objects to photograph. It could be a week-long take home project rather than having one class period to complete all the photos.
