** What is the purpose of this project? ** 1) To research scientific ideas before they are taught to you.  2) To determine what information is important. 3) To present and teach information to peers. 4) To collaborate with peers and effectively meet a deadline.

** What should the project include? ** 1) A presentation of ALL important information (ie: poster, drawing, photograph, skit, song, gloster, wikispace, video, etc).  2) A handout containing the most important information (may includes words and/or pictures). 3) A list of resources used to obtain information.

** How will I be graded? ** I will give your group a rubric in the near future.

** When is it due? (subject to change) ** Handout and list of resources – Tuesday, January 10th Visual/Audible AND technological presentations – Wednesday, January 11th

__ ** Chapter 3 Project: Projectile Motion ** __

// Objective: Create and solve a problem involving a projectile // // **launched at an angle.** //

The project must include: 1) a problem – complete sentences that include the given information and TWO questions 2) a solution – the TWO equations, the quantities plugged into the equations, and the solutions (in a complete sentence) 3) a picture – the trajectory of the projectile and all information labeled (including the solutions)

You will receive: ~ 10 pts for the problem if it includes all necessary information and TWO answerable questions ~ 10 pts for the solutions if they are correct and include all components mentioned above ~ 10 pts for the picture if everything is labeled correctly (may be simple or detailed)

// DUE WEDNESDAY (but you can probably finish in class today) //

Note: ~ I will give you ONE sheet of white paper for your final project. So, do a rough draft or two on another sheet of paper and ask me for white paper when you're ready for your final copy. ~ If your project includes anything that I consider inappropriate, you will have to redo it.
