Sick Science!
Easy, fun science experiments for inquisitive minds of any age! Close to two hundred videos, most under two minutes, featuring close-up images of the experiment in action with only a soundtrack as backdrop. These are great teasers that set up and perform the experiment first and then pose the question of why/how, referring viewers to the Steve Spangler Science site to delve into the science behind the fun.

Information Literacy Skills: these videos would be a great to have students mimic in creating their own 2-min “science-in-action” experiment videos; storyboarding the experiment, planning and executing the shoot, and editing. This could be a great project to implement with high school students partnered with elementary or middle school students.
