I made this for a science class presentation in eighth grade. My friend TheGreyDuck did the narrating.
Please comment if you can and tell me what you liked or what I could do better! Thanks! *UPDATE* 12/4/08 Wow this thing still gets views?! Can’t believe my middle school science video is helping other students and being used by teachers I don’t even know. oO If you’re a teacher using this video, please send me a message and let me know! I’m interested to know how many people are using it and what the class’s reactions were.
