PHUN PHYSICS
HONORS / EXTRA CREDIT OPTIONS
Create an “Inertia Can Kill You” or “Momentum is Monumental” home video
that demonstrates inertia and Newton’s First Law of Motion, and or momentum
and Newton’s Second Law of Motion. All videos must be previewed by Mrs.
Brooks, and be able to play on the LCD projector.
Draw a poster that illustrates Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, include
extensive captions.
Read a book by Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, or other physicist and do a
report. Mrs. Brooks has suggestions for you!
Write a poem about acceleration, speed or momentum. Make sure it uses
scientific vocabulary.
Do one of the Physics chapter projects on pages 337, 373, or 415. Or any
of the skills labs in the text that we do not do in class. You can
demonstrate your results for the class for more extra credit points.
Make a poster that illustrates all three types of Friction. Show examples
and write extensive captions.
Write a paper on Satellites or the Space Shuttle that describes how a
rocket goes up into space and how satellites orbit the earth.
Write a paper explaining Galileo’s classic experiment with falling
objects. Explain how free fall, terminal velocity, weight, gravity, mass,
and air resistance affect falling objects. Demonstrate your conclusions for
the class for even more points.
Write a paper explaining Isaac Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.
Give several examples and try to work out the formula.
*Be sure to check with Mrs. Brooks before beginning a project, students who
have missing homework assignments may not do extra credit…!!
*All reports must be submitted to Turn-it-in.com and have less than 15%
copied material to be accepted for extra credit. A report that has more than
15% copied will be returned for corrections. Having to make corrections will
not affect your grade adversely.
