Group 3

   Group Member Jobs:

   Kinematic Expert

    Newtonian Expert

    Work Expert

    Applied Force Expert

 

Task:  Your group will use the Internet to research information relating to work, force, and motion. You and your group members will become the producers of the latest science video aimed at making the concepts of motion more interesting for students.

 

  1. Go to www.warwickscience.com
  2. click on “my classroom”
  3. In the bottom center click on “physical Sci. Handouts”
  4. Click motion webquest
  5. Follow the directions on webquest
  6. A Storyboard for video will count as a quiz grade.  A story board is a group of picture that shows what your video is about scene by scene

Use of class time

*  Always focused on using class time for project. Never caused distraction.

*  Worked on the project most of the time. Did not distract others.

*  Focused on project occasionally. Majority of time still disturbing others and not working.

*  Did not use class time to work on project or distracted others from their work

 

 

 

Research quality and content

*  The student is able to extract all the important information from the Web that relates to their expert field and role-related questions

*  The student is able to extract some important facts from the Web to answer role-related questions. 

*  The student is able to extract information from the Web but does not answer role-related questions. in their expert field

*  The student is able to extract information from the Web but does not apply the information to their expert field. Research may be incomplete

 

 

 

Video quality and content

*  Includes all important information from all of the experts. Final product is exceptionally attractive and neat, containing no errors

* Exemplary preparation, creativity, and use of terminology and concepts.

*  Includes all important information from most of the experts. Appears attractive and neat with only a few errors present.

*  Adequate preparation, creativity, and use of terminology

*  Includes some important information but not from every expert. Appears a little messy, multiple errors exist.

*  Minimal preparation, organization unclear

*  Does not include important information from each expert. Information is not presented in a clear manner. Appears sloppy or poorly designed.

*  Lacks preparation and creativity.

 

 

Peer Evaluation

 

*  Well thought out peer evaluation. Included significant detail and useful feedback.

*  Participated in the evaluation process, but lacked detail.

*  Minimal completion of evaluation.

*  Did not participate in the evaluation process .

 

 

Collaborative performance

Cooperated extremely well with group. Individual work essential to final product.

Cooperated well with group members but focused more on individual work.

Minimal cooperation with group members. Acted as a distraction.

Did not cooperate with group members or very disruptive.

 

Group 4

Create an Advertisement showing the Physics involved in XXX

  1. Draw a picture of the car and boat from scene 25 of XXX as it races against the boat (this drawing should take time and not rushed.  See rubric)

 

 

  1. Next to the car create a motion map as to what the motion would look like with vectors only
  2. Your Text (writing) should have one statement about the car and boat’s displacement and the distance of the car and boat.  (Hint:  Is the car and the boat’s displacement the same?  Is the car and the boat’s distance the same?) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poster Evaluation Rubric

This analytic rubric verifies tasks performed when presenting information with a science poster. If the task has been successfully completed, all points are awarded. No points are awarded if the task is not complete. Students MUST hand in a copy of this rubric with the poster, or 5 points will be deducted.

Self-evaluation

Students are expected to honestly evaluate their own work. If the difference between the student evaluation and the teacher evaluation is more than 10 points, 5 points will be deducted from the score when the grade is recorded.  The rubric above is adapted from http://www.howe.k12.ok.us/~jimaskew/hsciout.htm#self
