I have been working on my podcast which I will write about more in a future post (see posts below or my LinkedIn for more on the podcast. While getting it prepared for release this month, I have been exploring the role of ChatGPT in elementary science education. As you may know ChatGPT is a an AI writing program (click here to learn more and try it) and I thought I would give it the challenge of writing a story about about two first graders named Ruby and Skye learning about the sun. Below is the AI story. I used to write stories for struggling and hesitant readers with their names. Does ChatGPT have that potential in STEM Education? You be the judge.
Ruby and Skye Learn About the Sun by ChatGPT
Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Ruby and Skye. They loved to play outside and explore the world around them.
One day, as they were playing, Ruby looked up at the sky and said, "Skye, have you ever wondered where the sun comes from?"
Skye replied, "No, I haven't. Why do you ask?"
Ruby said, "I heard my teacher talking about it in school and I'm curious. Let's go find out!"
So, they set out on a journey to find the sun. They asked everyone they met if they knew where the sun came from, but no one seemed to know the answer.
Just when they were about to give up, they met a wise old owl who said, "The sun comes from a place far away in space, where it was born as a giant ball of gas and fire."
Ruby and Skye were amazed. They thanked the owl for his help and continued on their journey, eager to learn more about the sun.
As they walked, they noticed that the sun was getting warmer and warmer. They realized that the sun was not only a ball of fire, but it also provided light and heat for the Earth.
When they finally returned home, Ruby and Skye were full of knowledge about the sun. They shared their adventure with their families and friends, and everyone was amazed by what they had learned.
From that day on, Ruby and Skye never forgot the incredible journey they had taken to find the sun. They knew that the sun would always be there to light up their days and warm their hearts.
