Video clips created by
our High Tech High Interns

2008 These science experiment video clips will "wow" your elementary school students. These clips were written, produced, and directed in the Spring of 2008 by SGEEI/STTRC/High Tech High interns Chyavana Joseph and Raquel Morris. They introduce and explaine simple science experiments in a friendly way. The clips can be viewed at www.youtube.com/sttrc.. Lightning In Your Mouth - This short film explains the basic concept of tribolumenescence through a comedic and educational explanation. In this film we explain how wintergreen LifeSavers© produce light in the dark.   Balloon Car - In this short clip, we demonstrate how to make a balloon car. Along with this, we explain important physics concepts like drag and acceleration. Static Electricity - This short clip focuses on static electricity and how it is conducted. By using a piece of wool and rubbing it against a balloon we are able to show how various household materials react to static electricity. Water Experiments - In this video, two experiments are explained that have to do with water. The first experiment is one that shows that water cannot enter a cup that is flipped upside down underwater, because air is in the cup. The next experiment shows how heat expands air.
