Come up with a scenario of your own based on the examples we have been looking at in class while looking at Newton’s Laws. You should think of something that you UNDERSTAND, but that is CHALLENGING to you. You will be presenting your scenario to the class and will be assessed on your ability to explain it clearly, correctly and in an interesting fashion. It is highly recommended that you make use of FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS to do this. You will also be assessed on how challenging your example is and how well you display understanding of how each of Newton’s Laws apply to it.

How challenging is my example? |
My example had lots of forces of more than 3 kinds (gravity, friction, etc.). It had a non-zero acceleration and values for the forces. I considered all the “action-reaction pairs.” |
My example had lots of forces with values of 3 kinds (gravity, friction, etc.). I considered some “action-reaction pairs.” |
My example had forces of 2 or 3 kinds (gravity, friction, etc.). |
My example had only one force. |
|
How much have I displayed my
understanding? |
I understood all or almost all, of my example and could answer all, or almost all, of the questions asked about it correctly. |
I mostly understood my example and could answer most of the questions asked about it correctly. |
I understood my example ok and could answer some of the questions asked about it correctly, but made some major mistakes. |
I did not understand my example. |
|
How well did I present my example? |
I was clear, complete and interesting. |
I was clear and complete. |
I was usually clear and mostly complete. |
I was hard to understand and missed a lot of stuff. |
