B Layer Assignments (Choose ONE – 15 points )

Draw a cartoon that illustrates one of Newton’s Laws in an amusing way.
Design and perform an experiment to determine the force of static and kinetic friction acting on a box on the lab table or floor. Share your experiment by writing a lab report, making a poster or presenting your experiment to the class.
How does the angle of a garden hose affect the range of the water stream? Share your experiment by writing a lab report, making a poster or presenting your experiment to the class.

A Layer Assignments (Choose One – 20 Points)

Are the methods used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to test a vehicle’s crash worthiness and its likelihood of rolling over effective? – Use A Layer Research Form
Research about the physiological affects of free fall. Find out how astronauts counter the affects of living in a free fall environment (sometimes called microgravity). What would be the minimum acceleration for a trip to Mars that would minimize physiological problems for the crew during flight and returning to Earth’s surface. – Use an A Layer Research Form.

B and A Layer Combined Assignments (Choose One – 35 points – will meet both B and A layer Assignment Requirements)

Identify, adapt, or invent a sport that people on the moon will find interesting, exciting, and entertaining. Write a proposal to NASA which includes the following: a description of your sport and its rules and how it meets the basic requirements for a sport; a comparison of factors affecting sports on Earth and on the moon in general; a comparison of the play of your sport on the Earth and on the moon including any changes to the size of the field, alterations to the equipment, or changes in the rules.
PBS has decided that it wants to televise certain sporting events, and that they would like these programs to have some educational value as well as entertainment value. As a test of this idea, you are to provide the voice-over on a sports video, and to explain the physics of the action appearing on the screen. Each student will so a “science commentary” on a short sports video. You may submit a written script, do a live narration, make a video or record on audio cassette.
