The video projects on this page represent a range of styles (e.g., whimsical, documentary, topic and person focused). Each video has a target audience yet has components for a variety of audiences. Video projects can be tailored to your needs and interest.
Many of my science videos are displayed below on this page. I have highlighted a few in this table to help you navigate what you would like to watch. All videos can be found on my YouTube @SheRockScience
