1.You have been divided into 3 groups.
First Law Second Law Third Law
Aaron Ken Bill
Kathy Susan Bob
Patricia Jim Diane
2. Each group has been assigned a Law but you will need to review the sites
for all 3 Laws because they interact with each other. However, concentrate
on your assigned Law.
3. Prepare and present a 30 min lesson plan to explain your Law to your
classmates. Provide problems and examples, as necessary. You can use ppt.
4. Design an experiment for the other groups to execute during a class
period. This will be a different period from your 30 min lesson plan. The
experiment should compliment your Lesson Plan.
5. Along with the Experiment, prepare a Rubric so I can grade your
classmates. I will not change the Rubric. A Rubric generator is provided on
the Resources page, if you care to use it. We have discussed Rubrics before
and you may ask me questions about Rubric ideas.
6. You have been provided Sample Experiment web sites to investigate but I
am looking for you, as much as possible, to generate a new and original
experiment, to explain and teach the Law. You can apply future theory we have
not studied before, i.e. momentum, energy, work, if you want to expand your
research. A significant part of your grade will be based on Originality and
ability to show you have executed upper level Bloom�s. A web link to a
Bloom�s web site is provided on the resource page.
7. Make your presentation to the class.
8. Set up your experiment as a Center.
9. You may organize your team any way you like but do not forget to designate
presenters.
10. You will need to facilitate your classmate�s executing the experiment you
designed.
11. You will also seek additional Newton�s Laws Application web sites for
inclusion in future revisions to this webquest. See the Rubric for
expectations.
12. You may earn extra credit submitting problems I can use to eventually
test this material. You many even find a problem you submit on your test.
See the Rubric for extra credit criteria.
