toc =Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence.=


 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * Goal: Your task is to create an experiment showing one of Newton's three laws of motion.

Role: You are a research scientist in another universe.

Audience: You need to convince your boss and your company's board of directors that three laws are relevant to your universe.

Situation: The context you find yourself in is proving one of Newton's three laws to gain funding for your research.

Product/Presentation: You will create a video of your experiment in order to prove to your boss that your research is correct. As well as giving a brief summary as to who Newton was.

Standards (criteria from both rubrics): Video components: Creativity/Originality, Requirements, Scientific Knowledge, Experiment, Attractiveness, Sources Presentation components: Preparedness, Presence, Posture/Eye Contact, Volume, Listens to Other Presentations || • Motion Lab: Changes in forces, mass and acceleration, blog entries on discussion questions. • Three Law Illustrations/ComicLife: Rewrite Newton's Three Laws of Motion using your own words and illustrations. • Interactive Physics Lab: Changes in forces, mass and acceleration, blog entries on discussion questions. • Classwiki/Blog Entry: Applications of force and motion and it's relationship to other knowledge. • Inspiration Diagram/Blog Entry: Describe how daily actions relate to Three Laws. || • Journal Entry End Reflections: On going blog entries on reflections and comparisons of Newton's Three Laws of Motion and other information students know about force and motion. || =Assessment Task Blue Print=
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * Other Evidence **(OE)** ||
 * • Webquest: Magazine articles on who Newton was and how his research effected us.
 * Student Self-Assessment and Reflection**
 * Self-Assessment **(SA)** ||
 * • Journal Entry Reflections: Blog entries on answers to discussion questions after motion lab. Discussion of current events that relate to Newton's Three Laws of Motion.

//**Through what authentic performance task will students demonstrate understandings?**//
 * //**Task Description:**// **(T)** ||
 * As a research scientist in another universe you have come across an interesting paper on Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, you believe these laws to be true but your boss does not agree. The department you work in does research on other planets’ scientific accomplishments and in order to keep departmental funding and continue your research on the planet Earth you must make them believe these laws are true. Your task is to design an experiment that will prove that one of the laws is true, and can be used on your planet. To make your scientific community believe that your research is worthwhile you must create a video to present your research, it must include information about who Newton was, shows your experiment, and explains why your experiment works on your planet. You and your colleagues will be presenting your research in front of your boss and the company's board of directors, in order to gain the required funding to continue your research. ||
