Newton’s Laws Poster/Presentation

 

PI  IIIB11:  Create a visual representation (poster, video, picture book) illustrating Newton’s three laws.  Explain how an object’s position (at rest or moving), velocity, and acceleration were affected by forces (friction, gravity, a push or pull).  For Newton’s 2nd law, show an example problem (make it up).

* If you opt to make a video explaining your examples, you will not be required to do a presentation in class.  I will grade your video as your presentation on the same criteria listed above.

 

 

** VIDEO people also must turn in your work for determining the force, mass, or acceleration using Newton’s 2nd law.
