When you began this module, you were presented with the following questions:
Each question is related to the description of motion or the analysis of motion. Do you see how description and analysis are just two sides of one coin? Reflect on the readings, labs, and questions you’ve been asked to complete in this module. You described and analyzed the motion of boats, jetliners, and other objects. You also examined how marbles and golf balls move when they travel as projectiles. This gave you greater understanding of acceleration, velocity, and displacement for objects moving in two dimensions.
You can choose to make your presentation in any form you wish. However, if you wish to use a form other than a speech (about 2 minutes), a letter or report (about 500 words), or multimedia presentation (about 2 minutes), you should discuss it with your teacher before beginning.
In the first three lessons of Module 2 you researched and thought about equipment used in different sports. Your final presentation should organize this information and present it in a coherent fashion. You should explain concisely how dynamics has contributed to changes in sports. Look at the scoring rubric to see how you will be graded.
Score |
Criteria |
5 Excellent |
The presentation is comprehensive, specific, relevant, and accurate, and it demonstrates a superior understanding of how dynamics affects sports. |
4 Good |
The presentation is purposeful, usually specific, relevant, and accurate, indicating a solid understanding of how dynamics affects sports. |
3 Satisfactory |
The presentation is largely relevant but may contain some minor factual errors, or there may be a mixture of relevant and extraneous information. It shows a general understanding of dynamics as it relates to sports. |
2 Limited |
The presentation is unfocused or inappropriate, potentially relevant but contains inaccuracies or extraneous detail. It shows an understanding that is confused or oversimplified. |
1 Poor |
The presentation is irrelevant or so scant, overgeneralized, or inaccurate that it indicates a poor or almost complete lack of understanding. It contains major errors or is largely inappropriate. |
0 Insufficient |
The response is incomplete and/or totally off topic. |
Each of the preliminary parts of the project will be graded on a 2-point scale: 0 points if the part shows little or no effort expended, 1 point for some effort, and 2 points if considerable effort is shown.
