Step 1
Choose a physics topic we’ve discussed this year: experimental design, kinematics, forces, momentum & impulse, energy, electricity, waves, sound, or anything else!
Think of where you experience that topic or concept in action every day at school.
Step 2
How would you explain this topic as if you were a news reporting, cover a story “live from the scene?”
First, using 7-12 index cards, create a rough storyboard of the topic at hand. Construct a narrative the weaves the physic phenomenon into your reporting.
Second, write up a basic script of how your report would be presented. You will not need to follow your script 100% but it should serve as more than just a guideline (or in other words, it should be more than a bullet point list) of what you want to say.

Step 3
Finally, we want to film our new reports!
Using your phones, record a video of yourself presenting your physics-related story. You can either be “in the field” or you can be an anchor in the studio with pictures and slides as an aid.
Using your phone or a computer, edit your video (it should be between 1-3 minutes). Include appropriate music, photos, and slides as needed. Your narrative should talk about your physics concept in-depth! This includes:
Identifying the concept & the scenario
Using relevant ideas and vocabulary
Describing the scenario using accurate measurements and equations
When you’re done with your video, publish it online and submit the link to our digital library on Google Classroom!
