Scripts review: all fourteen topics
What you are deciding: the go-ahead for video generation, topic by topic. Topic 1 is approved and its twelve videos are rendering. Topics 7 and 12 are the sample topics you asked for; the other eleven are here so you can release them when you have time.
Small calls that do not block anything sit on the Backlog tab: eight one-tap cards; the course runs on the default shown until you rule.
Out of scope: articles and PP100 items. They are not on these pages.
What each card holds: the video script (say | screen), the one easy question after “Okay, now your turn”, and the quiz the student meets straight after the video. Answers sit behind a reveal.
How to rule: one tap per card — Approve for video, Needs changes or Skip the video; Other opens a text box. Every tap is saved and sent. Your notes save as you type; the Notes tab gathers and sends them.

Your review criteria
Is this content better than the current alternative students have (PhysicsGraph / Edmentum)?
Lessons are good enough if they are 8/10 on the following criteria
Gut check questions
- Are we confident that this is better than the alternative?
- Are we confident that a student would benefit from taking this lesson?
Some criteria to think about
- Clear and concise language
- Physics accuracy (read as chemistry accuracy here; his line as pasted for HS Physics)
- No "clangers" (content that causes a problematic misconception)
- Appropriate questions
- Initial testing
- Expansion into harder questions (no exam)
- The tasks should use similar language to that of the lesson

Applied without asking
Rulings you have already given; in force on every card, not re-asked.
- Every video ends “Okay, now your turn.” with one easy, video-dependent question (the XP gate).
- An intro video is at most 120 words and teaches nothing: it opens the question the topic answers.
- A summary video is at most 300 words: everything taught, in order, just before the PP100.
- A lesson script is at most 200 words.
- Each lesson ships as both a video and an article; the article is not under review here.
- The topic lexicon is two sentences per state (arrangement, then movement).
- Lesson videos of 90–100 s are fine; the merged three-way state sort may run to about 130 s.
