Inquiry Video- The Chemistry of Glass

WARNING- STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!
My video is a work in progress at the moment due to time and locations for the footage I want!

I wanted to share what I have so far and at the same time remind everyone that this is not complete. 

My intention for this video is that I want to create a informative introduction that explains how glass is made, then illustrate the different shades of color glass can be. I want to leave the video with a question to the audience to find out how chemistry is involved in the color choices and have students respond with research of the elements that cause different colors.

The footage collected is from the Milton Flea Market. The glass available there is very impressive. I was not impressed with all of my footage and since Sunday have decided I want to go get even more footage and images.  

I plan to edit my voice over into the video as I get more images and my script completed. I also think that incorporating the summer footage will be very beneficial!

  1. Great idea to use Milton Flea Market as a resource. I'll have to make a trip soon.

  2. I like this idea. There could be a whole project on glass at flea markets.

  3. Interesting. I think I would have walked past all of that before, but now might stop and ponder a bit. I like the footage so far.

  5. One of the things that caught my eye were the prices of the glass pieces you video. It doesn't take long to realize pieces of art are cheap! Good job, can't wait to see how you continue to shape your video.

  7. Awesome video! I would never have thought about the flea market having those amazing pieces.@ Joe the price tags caught my eye too, I could also see a lesson on business developing from this video too! Danielle, I look forward to your updated video soon!

  8. I like your video.... very interesting the places you'd find glass pieces. Could see you tying it in with research on the chemical compounds needed to form different colors.
