Building Catapults: Project and Lab Report Outline with Rubric
My Physics students’ favorite project is building a catapult –it’s almost a rite of passage for Physics students! Here is a free, editable template to organize a project in which students will:
• research and design a projectile launcher (catapult, ballista, trebuchet, etc.) that converts either elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy to launch the projectile
• document the building process
• calibrate the launcher to hit targets at various distances
• des

States of Matter Project
Learning Goals:
• Students will understand that matter can be found in three forms or phases (solid, liquid, and gas).
• Using physical models, students will be able to explain the molecular behavior of ice, water, and water vapor.
Directions:
1. Create a diagram, craft, poster, or any visual of your choice representing an understanding on how particles (molecules) are arranged in Solids, Liquids and Gasses.
2. Choose materials like cheerios, fruit loops, cotton ball

Newton's Laws of Motion Video Project
Newton's Laws of Motion Video Project: This is a FUN, CREATIVE way to wrap up Newton's Laws of Motion. YOU NEED A DEVICE TO VIDEOTAPE FOR THIS PROJECT.I use iPads - just because I always have, but you could allow students to use phones, I suppose. I create a private class YouTube channel for students to upload videos to. If you utilize google classroom, you could have them upload there as well and then share with you.This is a class favorite every year! The directions are in an editable word doc

Momentum in one dimension assessment
This assessment is broken into two parts, a numeracy and literacy section. This way, students are able to see how they are performing in the different components of a physics course that contains momentum.Each part of the task is a ten mark assessment for momentum in one dimension. There is an attached rubric for students to use to reflect on how they might approach the question.
