Experiment!

In this workshop you’ll learn how to document classroom experiments and share your findings via short ‘lab report’ films.

This simple approach can be used again and again as a supplement or alternative to written reports. Finally put your Virtual Learning Environment to good use with a constant stream of high-quality Science videos shot by students and teachers.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to plan and storyboard a compelling film
  • Pieces-to-camera and voice over
  • Filming super slo-mo (1000 frames per second on a £300 camera!)
  • Analysing and presenting data in your film

Why?

Video is the ideal medium for recording and reporting a wide range of experiments, and there are obvious benefits in terms of revision and efficient use of resources.

The Key Stage 3 Science Curriculum explicitly encourages the use of digital media as a means of communication in its guidance on How Science Works.

Curriculum

The workshop fits particularly well with:

  • Key Stage 3 Science - How Science Works
  • BTEC Science
  • Key Stage 4 Science - 21st Century Science

Price

Starts at £475 for up to 24 students using school computers for editing (see section on software requirements) or for up to 9 students using Science.tv computers.

Availability

Currently available in the South West, London and South Wales.
