Supporting research

The content of the video project topics is supported by both the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Middle and High School grades, especially the Disciplinary Core Ideas for “Earth and Human Activities (ESS3) and Ecosystems (LS2). The content is also supported by the C3 Framework from the National Council for the Social Studies, as well as the frameworks for two AP courses (Environmental Science and Human Geography).

Research indicates that video production is a valuable instructional strategy for positive content learning outcomes. Video production “facilitates connections to content, student motivation and engagement” among other benefits. (Norton and Hathaway, 2010).
