Educational Video 2 - Outline

Title: The Characteristics of High & Low Air Pressure - Music Video

I want to create 2 short rap songs (using GarageBand) about High and Low Air Pressure. I will then create video behind the songs. I might be way in over my head but let's give this a shot. These are the New York State Earth Science Learning Standards for High and Low Air Pressure.

HIGH PRESSURE
Temperature is Cool
Humidity is Dry
Air blows out from the center and moves clockwise
Also known as an anti-cyclone

LOW PRESSURE
Temperature is Warm
Humidity is Wet
Air gets sucked into the center and moves counter-clockwise
Also known as a cyclone

Now here are the verses...

High Pressure
When the temperatures cool and the air feels dry
I dont need to look up in the sky
To know the pressures High

A high is also known as anti-cyclone
Blows out from the center
Sucks into a Low

And as it blows from High to Low
We call this wind
It's a horizontal flow

Low Pressure
If air is wet and you're feeling warm
Better pack an umbrella
You might see a storm

Cause if it's rainy, if it's cloudy
Might not know why
You're feeling lousy

Temperature & Dewpoint close together
no need to check the news
to predict the weather

Video
Scene 1 - High Pressure
  • Lots of pictures with sunny/cloud free skies
  • Happy/upbeat music
  • All the learning standards will be spelled out onscreen (synchronized with the vocals)
Scene 2 - Low Pressure
  • Lots of pictures with cloudy/rainy skies
  • Joyless/Gloomy music
  • All the learning standards will be spelled out onscreen (synchronized with the vocals)
