The Three Law's of Motion

The Task

You are an author making a book on the three laws of motion. This book will be graded on how well you follow the rubric and overall creativity. Someone reading your book should be able to completely understand the three laws of motion.  Your book can be typed or hand written.  All typed books must be printed outside of school and present on the due date. 

The Process

1. Make a cover for your book which should include picture(s), title and your name.

2. The next page should be a Table of Contents. 

3. The next pages should be about Sir Issac Newton. 
      a).    Find some pictures of Sir Issac Newton and draw or print and paste them into your book.
      b).  Give a brief history of Newton. (Where and when was he born, how long did he live,
              and what were some of the things he worked on).

4. The following pages will be about Galileo.
        a).  Who was Galileo and what did he have to do with Newton? 
        b).  (Get picture of Galileo-draw or print and paste)

5. Find the three laws of motion and write them in your book.
       a).  Make sure you label each Law.
        b). Then under the law simplify it in your own words to explain it.
        c).  Give an application (picture drawn or printed and pasted) for each law of motion and Under this picture
               explain how it shows the law. (In your own words DO NOT COPY AND PASTE explaination.)
      d). Find one activity for illustrating each of the three laws and be prepared to show and explain one of

               your activities in class.

6. The last page should be a bibliography.  Make sure to list all of the websites or sources you used to complete this activity.
