1. Task Overview

Total Marks: 30
Target Audience: Lower Secondary Students (Sec 1 & 2)
Group Size: 3 pax
Format: 90-second video

The Challenge
Your team must create an educational demonstration video to illustrate a Physics concept from a topic in the Sec 3 or Sec 4 syllabus. You must make the concept easy to understand, engaging,
and visually clear for a lower secondary student.

Submission Requirements

• Each group must submit a 90 s video.
• Originality: The video must be entirely your own work. Do not reuse videos from the internet or experiments already shown by your teacher in class.
• Group introduction: At the start of the video, all members must appear on screen to introduce themselves.
• Demonstration: You must use a real-life apparatus and setup.
  • Note: Animations/drawings are allowed for explanation only, not for the primary
    demonstration.
• Captions: All speech must be captioned in the video.
• Balanced participation: Every member must speak in the video, and speaking time should be roughly equal, no single member should dominate the presentation.
• At the end of video, references and sources should be acknowledged.
• Project brief to be submitted by the group leader by 9 Mar 2026 (Term 1 Week 10, Monday) for teachers’ approval.

• Peer assessment form must also be completed and submitted by each member by 13 April 2026. Link to the form will be provided by your subject teacher in due course.
  • Individual scores are subject to moderation based on peer assessment of contribution.

3. Student FAQ

• Can I use AI to help me?
  You may use AI to brainstorm ideas or simplify your script. However, the final script must be your own work, and you cannot use AI-generated voiceovers.
• Do we all need to be on camera?
  Only for the introduction at the start. After that, you may choose who demonstrates and who narrates.
• Can I use a drawing for the experiment?
  No. The demonstration must be a real, physical setup. You can use drawings only to help explain the “non-visible” physics concepts (like force arrows or light rays).
• What is the time limit?
  90 seconds. You have a 10 second buffer. Going significantly over or under will result in mark deductions.
• Can we borrow equipment from the lab?
  No. Please source for your own equipment.

 

4. Checklist

• All members introduced themselves on camera at the start.
• The video is approximately 90 seconds long.
• Every word spoken has a clear caption on screen.
• The physics phenomenon is demonstrated with real objects.
• The language is simple enough for a lower secondary student.
• We have all submitted the peer review form.
