Explain it in 60 seconds video

Explain it in 60 seconds is a project of Fermilab, a scientific facility located outside Chicago in Batavia, IL.  Fermilab does cutting-edge physics research and astrophysics.  Here's an Explain-It-In-60-Seconds effort on gravity waves.

Using the explain-it-in-60 concept, take the time to create a video that explains a property of force.  You must use audio, video, and text in your composition, and render the video using Windows Movie Maker Live.  Audio, video, and on-screen text must be included.  Graphics or photos may also be used.  The video may be an action sequence, a newscast, a comic adventure, or something else of your choosing.

Your audience is 6th graders.

You will be evaluated using this rubric

You must have a basic script that is at least one page long, typed.  Follow the 2 column script format.

You must have a storyboard.

• Storyboarding for Dummies Link
• Wikihow hints

You will have the rest of Monday and all day Tuesday to execute your project.   Video is due at the beginning of class on Thursday.
