Research task (Creative Writing):
Help create a detailed outline for a potential YouTube short for a growing Physics explainer channel. The channel is run solely by a high-schooler, who is looking to create original and potentially viral content. The response should be robust and specific, allowing the high schooler to easily create the video from the response while including only information relevant to the video’s creation.

Evaluation rubric:
criterion: The response includes a script for the YouTube short (i.e., using a script template with consideration for time, sections, visuals, and audio) in a clear and readable table format.
weight: 5
axis: Explicit Criteria

criterion: The response includes a potential title for the YouTube short (e.g., The amazing catapult, Can you control electricity?, What do sound waves look like?, Let's make an earthquake).
weight: 1
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response describes what the thumbnail should be for the YouTube short (e.g., the face of Einstein sticking his tongue out, a rocket launching away, electricity zapping across, or use of logos and fonts for the short title ).
weight: 3
axis: Synthesis of Information

criterion: The response includes at least five potential hashtags to include in the video title (e.g., #physicsexperiment, #cooltricks, #highschoolproject, or #fun).
weight: 3
axis: Synthesis of Information

criterion: The response is not original – an existing YouTube short with the same idea exists.
weight: -5
axis: Explicit Criteria

criterion: The response creates a short that could realistically have a length of between 15 and 60 seconds.
weight: 3
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response describes where the YouTube short could be realistically filmed (e.g., in the school's classroom, at the local park, at a science museum, at home, more specifically in the backyard, bedroom, or the kitchen).
weight: 3
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response describes a YouTube short that could be created individually (i.e., doesn't require any other parties or supervision to create the experiment).
weight: 5
axis: Explicit Criteria

criterion: The response includes some musical or sound element (e.g., using classical background music, using trending pop music, sound bits, funny and goofy sounds, or shock sounds like bangs).
weight: 4
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response's script draws the audience in with a hook or question (e.g., Can you push a spring too far?,  Can you touch anything?, Use of memes and sound bites, or  Do heavier grocery bags swing slower?).
weight: 2
axis: Synthesis of Information

criterion: The response's script introduces tension that is resolved in the conclusion (e.g., (1) not answering the main hook questions completely until the end, (2) using a step-by-step approach of revealing more about the topic, (3) using sound design for tension and relieve such as controlling playback speed of music, (4) speaking fast and using language with a lot of exclamations or mysterious tone, (5) using WOW factor either doing the cool trick again or in slow motion).
weight: 2
axis: Synthesis of Information

criterion: The response describes what will be on the screen together with the sounds and narration at each point in the video (e.g., in scene 2, between 10-20 seconds, the person will narrate, "So the reason why electricity is generated is because according to Faraday's Law, changes in magnetic flux induce a voltage in the conductor. The faster the change in the magnetic field, etc." The visuals will be a clip of a magnet being pushed into a coil of wire and electricity flowing in the wire. A calming classical music will be playing in the scene).
weight: 4
axis: Explicit Criteria

criterion: The response suggests an overly complicated script that a lone high-schooler could not realistically do (i.e., advanced computer graphics (CGI) and visual effects (VFX), complicated sound editing, advanced knowledge of editing software, complex physical capability required like performing multiple muscle-ups, complex coding or engineering involved to set up the experiment).
weight: -3
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response's video idea teaches the audience a physics concept (e.g., Gravity, Electricity, Light, or Sound).
weight: 5
axis: Explicit Criteria

criterion: The response uses and cites interesting and credible physics content (e.g., science buddies, vernier, homesciencetools, or articles/blogs on how to make viral YouTube shorts).
weight: 3
axis: References & Citation Quality

criterion: The response includes any information not explicitly related to producing the physics short (i.e., includes general information about YouTube, social media, monetization, or virality).
weight: -3
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response tailors the script to have a budget of less than 50 dollars.
weight: 3
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response suggests unsuitable or harmful activities to the high school or to others (e.g.,  launching fireworks away from the sky, mixing toxic or explosive chemicals, using potentially dangerous tools like saws, looking directly into a laser, or handling high-voltage equipment).
weight: -5
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response describes all the necessary equipment and tools the video will need.
weight: 3
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response's video could realistically be created in less than five hours of work (e.g., Not suggesting building or constructing laborious and complex equipments needed for the experiment, extensive use of software for editing, a lot of manual tasks like collecting large data or by chance activities that can take a lot of shots to get the needed scene such as trying to get a ball to enter a small tube from a distance).
weight: 3
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response suggests using captions.
weight: 1
axis: Implicit Criteria

criterion: The response starts with describing the idea for the YouTube video (e.g., the physics of a catapult, making electricity with magnets, or seeing the shape of sound waves).
weight: 2
axis: Communication Quality

criterion: The response uses or cites anything too difficult for a high schooler to understand (e.g., cites a published research paper, includes formulas and mathematical concepts too difficult for a high schooler, uses complicated language with terminology too advanced).
weight: -4
axis: Instruction Following

criterion: The response fails to mention copyright issues (i.e., warns about using non-copyrighted music, making sure to cite papers or resources used, and not copying other video shorts), especially when suggesting ideas that may infringe on such issues.
