PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE 90 second videos are meant for K-12 students, SO THE LESS JARGON THE BETTER!

​

I want the students to really understand the diversity of science out there and see how PASSIONATE we all are for what we do!

Helpful hints on how to structure your video

What is your name?

"I'm a..."

​

"That means I study..."

"It's important to know about this because..."

"Specifically I try to figure out if/how/whether or not..."

"I do this by studying..."

"But there's still a lot left to discover about..."

"Maybe you can help figure that out!"

​

​

[Name/Title]

[Be specific, so not just chemist, but analytical chemist]

[General sub-discipline description]

[As jargon free as possible]

[Specific work in the form of a question]

[General description of study system]
