Experiment Video Guide


Your experiment video is the place to show off your experiment to others.  The video should be a summary of your experiment that includes the following elements:

  • Your variables - You can do this how you would like---use your testable question, your hypothesis or just explain your variables individually.  
  • Your data - You do not need to include all your data, just the most important.  Remember, data is best presented in a visual form.  This could be graph, text on the screen or note cards with data written on them.  
  • Your conclusion - What was learned from your experiment?  You could answer your testable question, explain your hypothesis in relation to your data, or summarize a scientific concept or idea that was proven or learned by the experiment.
Your video does not need to have motion.  Feel free to create a photo slideshow in video form.  Also feel free to use voiceovers, speed up time, slow down time, and edit to the most important parts of your experiment.  The video does not need to be long!

All videos must be able to be uploaded to your a YouTube account (unlisted or public).  The school provides you with a YouTube account that you are free to use.  Programs like iMovie or YouTube Editor are good places to create your video.  

We will watch experiments and vote on our favorites in the class, then in the grade.  Winning videos will be on the TV Screens around our school.
