Inspire and engage your students in studying the fascinating world of forces!

For thousands of years, humans have studied forces to better understand the world around us and to improve our quality of life. In ancient times, philosophers such as Aristotle wrote that everything that moved must be moved by something, but it wasn’t until 1687 when Sir Isaac Newton published his three laws of motion, which formulated our modern understanding of physics. From the forces involved in launching a rocket into space to the gravitational pull of the sun, forces and their effects are truly remarkable. For this assignment, students will choose force to study and create a project to showcase their learning. Have fun!

This resource guides students through the process of conducting their own research report on a force. First, students learn how to properly conduct research without plagiarizing their sources. After researching, students choose how to showcase their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, PowerPoint, or dodecahedron (Dodecahedron Instructions and templates are included). Afterwards, students present their learning to the class and self-assess their achievement (Teacher Rubric also included).

This Resource Contains:

★ Step-by-Step instructions

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts.
