This is an excellent activity using video cameras borrowed from the school to record "evidence" in their STEM designed activity, designing a stone and mortar wall. Using a fourth grade classroom (however this activity can be modified for other grades very easily), the teacher had students make claims (i.e., answers to questions, or solutions to problems), provide evidence to support those claims (using downloaded video clips of their activities), and articulate their reasoning to connect their evidence to their claim. The sequence of the teachers lesson was clearly written and several pictures as examples were provided. At the end of the article several significant reasons for using video cameras to document the learners collection of evidences were listed. An extremely helpful article if you are interested in using video in your classroom.
