How to videos



Rating
0-3
0 = not done
3 = extremely well done

Do I have a title slide?- 3

Do I have subtitles for the steps?- 3

How well does the voiceover timing match the photos?- 2

How well do the photos match the script?- 2

Are the photos well focused?- 3

Is the audio clear?- 2

Reflection

A strength was that we made our photos detailed.

A problem we overcame was that for one of our photo, it turned up as black screen and we found out we had to save it again with jpg not screenshot.

Our best shot was step 3. We had no one to take a picture of us and we took a picture by ourselves and it turned out good.

Apiece of advice I would give to next year's class making How to Videos is that you need to plan well. Planning is the most important part or else your video will turn out bad.

Science behind the glowstick

What I think now (before we start)
I think when you snap the glowstick you break the kernel of the glowstick(chemical) and it start to move out to the other kernels.

What I think now (after hearing others' ideas)
I think there might be a glass inside the glowstick tube and there is a kernel inside the chemical.

What I think now (after seeing Miss C cut open the tube)
There is a glass tube inside the glowstick and it has the glowing chemical inside it and when you break it, it comes out and mixes with the chemical that was in a outer tube.

What I think now (after researching)


3 questions I still have

Synthesis is developing and progressing knowledge by experimenting and researching.
