GHP CHEMISTRY FINAL PROJECT
You will create, with the help of your assigned lab group, a podcast (created in iMovie) describing any concept you have learned in chemistry this year. Your podcast must:
· Teach the concept in a clear manner.
· Be between 1:30 and 3:00 minutes in length.
· Include narration and visuals.
Some things to think about:
· Choose a concept that interests you, but can be clearly explained in the allotted time frame.
· Visuals can include movie clips .
· You will be using the built-in camera and microphone on the laptop.
· Write a script before narrating your work.
Topics will be submitted by each lab group by the end of the period on May 25 or 26. Your topic approval, with comments and suggestions, will be returned to you by the beginning of the period the next day. Work on the labtops will be conducted during 2 double class periods between June 1 and June 8 and uploaded to my blog site on the last work day. Grades will be recorded by Friday June 11. NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED and will be given a 0.
YOU HAVE ONLY 2 DOUBLE PERIODS IN WHICH TO WORK ON AND COMPLETE THIS PROJECT! USE YOUR TIME WISELY!!
Project rubric:
Production / 10-12 pointsToo long or too short; difficulty in playback / 13-15 points
Poor/distracting sound quality, poor visuals, or poor timing / 16-17 points
Sound and visuals work seamlessly together in proper sequence / 18-20 points
Sound and visuals are outstanding/ evidence of extra effort
Delivery / 10-12 points
Missing narration or visuals / 13-15 points
Narration unclear/ visuals do not sync with narration or are inappropriate / 16-17 points
Clear narration with visuals that match and complement narration / 18-20 points
Narration is clear and holds attention, visuals enhance narrative
Subject Matter / 16-19 points
Relevance of topic is questionable / 20-23 points
Relevant topic, but with some inaccuracies / 23-26 points
Relevant topic with accurate data / 27-30 points
Topic is interesting, relevant, and accurate
Educational Value / 16-19 points
Little-no educational value (high entertainment doesn’t always equal high educational value). / 20-23 points
A definite concept is presented, but explanation is unclear / 23- 26 points
Concept is presented and explained clearly / 27-30 points
Outstanding teaching, grabs interest, makes connections to the “real” world
Point totals: / 42-62 / 66-76 / 78-86 / 90-100

You MUST take into account of the following:
· If you use photos and videos off the web you must site the source via a caption in credits.
· No facial images of you on the podcast (per Parkland SD policy).
· Give credit to music used – site the artist/song via a caption in credit.
· Make sure any music/sound effects you use enhance your presentation rather than distract from it.
