Scientific Demonstrations
In the “How the Webb and Hubble Telescopes Look into the Past” episode of ‘STEM in 30’, I wrote multiple student demonstrations and ‘Try this at Home’ videos related to the James Webb and Hubble telescopes in anticipation of its December 2021 launch. These demonstrations break down concepts such as reflection and refraction, and explore how these giant space telescopes capture and interpret light from far away galaxies. These are intended at a 7th grade reading level with the primary audience focusing on children. This video was published in February 2022. Watch the full video on YouTube!
Script Supervisor
For the “At Home Astronomy: How You Can Observe the Night Sky” episode of the National Air and Space Museum’s (NASM) ‘STEM in 30’, I am credited as a script supervisor, assisting during the filming process in fact-checking and ensuring that all planned segments were executed properly. This video was published in September 2021.
Apollo 14 Moon Trees
I wrote multiple student demonstrations and ‘Try this at Home’ videos related to the Apollo 14 Moon Trees. These trees are present all over the United States and the world, grown from seeds flown on the Apollo 14 mission by Astronaut and Smokejumper Stuart Roosa. It was intended as an experiment on the germination of seeds after being exposed to microgravity, but also served as a reminder to protect the forests. These demonstrations broke down concepts such as seed germination, clones vs. offspring, and the carbon cycle. They will be released in celebration of one of the moon trees being planted in front of the National Air and Space Museum.
