How does knowledge and research of science drive the creative mind? Students in the 7th grade created a science-fiction story idea and researched the science needed to write the story. After completing the story and a brief author’s note elucidating the science in the story, students created trailers about their stories using iMovie. These trailers will eventually play on the Ardsley website inspiring people to go to the library to read these stories. There, they will be bound and ready to be checked out and explored. The students were extremely creative with their trailers, see for yourself:
