2. Original Concept Audience is 15-16 year olds
Outreach videos should focus on a specific topic
Videos should be short (4-10 minutes)
Capture students’ imagination
Present scientific understanding in the context of doing science – scientific process
Evidence for currently accepted scientific ideas
Questions that still need to be answered
Who, What, Where, How, and Why these questions will be pursued

Talking points…
Avoid highly technical or mathematical presentations
Keep the tone fun but not silly or childish
Keep the scope of the video as narrow as possible so it can be used flexibly by the teacher and not require too much background knowledge
Keep the video short…use it as a hook. Let the teacher teach the details if they chose.
Capture students imaginations right away with the opening sequence
