Five steps to your first result

  1. Load the sources

    Create a notebook. Add the two PDFs and give each a distinct source title.

  2. Check four facts

    Paste the first prompt. Open one citation. Compare its passage with the exact claim.

  3. Choose one format

    In Studio, choose Audio Overview, Video Overview or Infographic. Use the media prompt to focus it.

  4. Inspect a small piece

    Check 20 seconds of audio/video or one visual panel. Look for units and the period definition.

  5. Save your first result

    Download or save the artifact if available. Keep one checked fact beside it.

Your starting prompt

Use only the attached Pendulum Source Packet and fictional observation sheet. Make a 90-second student explainer about what changes a pendulum’s period. First give four verified facts with source IDs. Explain that the small-angle model depends on length and gravity, not bob mass. Distinguish a complete oscillation from a one-way swing. Label the classroom observations fictional. Do not invent a curriculum code or measurement. Finish with a prediction question, an answer and one model limitation. I will check the facts before generating media.

Media prompt

Create a short student explainer from the checked sources. Focus on the question: Does a longer pendulum always swing faster? Use a clear visual or spoken explanation, then ask learners to predict what happens when length increases fourfold. Preserve units and distinguish a model prediction from fictional observations. Keep language suitable for secondary students. Use only the checked facts. Make the chosen format: Audio Overview, Video Overview or Infographic.

YOUR QUALITY CHECK

Does the result hold up?

At 1 m and g=9.81, the ideal period is about 2.006 s. Bob mass does not change it. Fictional observations stay labelled.

Before you call it finished

Take it a little further

Use Verified_Survey_Facts.pdf instead to make a staff podcast or video from the survey. Change audience and tone, keep the numbers.

If your tool is slow or cannot export

Use the included storyboard to revise one frame while media generates. A storyboard is the fallback, not a generated podcast.
