Savvas is one of the biggest providers of K-12 educational materials, with 90% of U.S. school districts carrying their textbooks and other resources. In this contract role I helped develop and write over 40 videos for 7th and 8th grade science textbooks, covering topics in biology, astronomy, geology. and chemistry.
My work as a writer focused on taking complex scientific concepts, like protein synthesis and physiology as shown in these video examples, and finding entertaining and informative ways in presenting the information. I not only helped brainstorm the art direction for these videos, but also collaborated with a team of scientists and instructional designers in writing accurate scripts that hit the goals for the curriculum.
