7/8: Physics - Inertia and Airbags
Students, follow the link below to read an article about inertia and airbags. On a clean sheet of paper, write a two-paragraph summary of what you've read. Begin by defining inertia. Then, describe how inertia applies to a moving car/passenger when a wreck occurs. Mention the main points of the article in logical order and use correct grammar/spelling. Due Wednesday.

5/6: ELEMENT BROCHURE
Yesterday, we discussed a project to help us become more familiar with an element on the periodic table. Students, you'll create a tri-fold brochure to present the information you find out about your element through research in books and on the internet. You can include physical characteristics of the element (like color and smell) and the element's common uses. Include any facts you find interesting! For example, scientists enrich the element Uranium for nuclear warfare!
As we discussed in class, please use computer copy paper or construction paper (NOT notebook paper). Your brochure should follow the example we made in class. You may type or handwrite and print pictures or draw them. The key is neatness!
***Make sure to include the sources of your information on the back of the brochure. (See your example.)
Underline book titles if you handwrite them. Italicize them if you type.
Your brochure will be graded on the information you give, neatness, and pictures. Have fun and get creative! :)
I can't wait to see what you come up with!
