Motion Forces and Vectors Due

Turn in your project and turn in your Scorecard each time. This will help me grade it – if you tell me what points you are going for then I know what to look for. Makes sense right? Thanks! If you do a video or Padlet please post a link to your video in YouTube or your Padlet along with your scorecard. Please do a new Padlet for each portfolio (but within one portfolio you can do more than one scenario). Do not edit your padlets or videos after the due date! To be safe – dont even load up your Padlet after the due date until you see a grade for it in Blackboard. If you are making a Powerpoint please use just black and white background – dont get fancy. Fancy = large filesize = may not upload = MONSTER AMOUNTS OF STRESS. Thanks! Upload your portfolio with plenty of time for possible technology glitches. I recommend finishing a day or two early just in case you cant get the files to upload and you need Professors assistance! Requirements: answer as per required question QUICK OVERVIEWQuick OverviewThe portfolio project is where you get to show off what you can do with physics. So far weve learned Forces & Vectors so thats the focus of this portfolio.At home youll set up one or two scenarios (details in instructions). Youll measure everything you can about those scenarios and use those measurements to do calculations and show off your physics skills. A scorecard gives you a list of measurements calculations and skills that you can choose from. Finally youll present all those measurements calculations and skills in a presentation. This can be a video a powerpoint a word document a sway a webpage a padlet…you get to choose your favorite platform.Read all of these tips before getting started and read them several times again as you work. 🙂 VIDEO INTROS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PORTFOLIO PROJECTFirst here is a video in which I explain my philosophy of assessments and why I picked a portfolio project.Now here are the instructions for doing the 1st Portfolio. WHO AND WHAT ARE YOU ALLOWED TO WORK WITH?Who and What Are You Allowed To Work With?You are expected to finish the portfolio by yourself. Do not do the scenarios with other people and do not share your own results. This is the equivalent of a take-home test where your work is your own.You are allowed to use all our notes and videos on Blackboard to help you as you go. You can also use the textbook and your old Connect work. Do not use other students in the class.If you are stuck reach out to the professor she is so happy to helpPROFESSOR GRAESSLES SCORECARD Your scorecards will be different – this is one from late in the semester. Also the point levels will be new each semester depending on what the class votes for the category percentages. FAQ SECTIONFAQ SectionHello! Heres a helpful FAQ section for you! Right now its based on questions from past sections but I will add new FAQs from you as needed. Check back here often :)1) I found coefficient of friction by…(doing something different than what was done in the sliding book video). Is that ok?No that is not ok. The way the scenarios are set up if you are finding coefficient of friction by methods other than outlined in the sliding book video something is going wrong.2) What do I measure?Right now the only official measurements we are doing are angle coefficient of friction and mass. Thats all you need believe me!3) How do I start?Check out our physics problem-solving strategy! Its really great for portfolio help. First explore your scenario and make measurements. Second set up a diagram. Third set up your equations that go with the diagram. Fourth solve for everything you can from those equations. Fifth maybe theres other things you can figure out (see the scorecard for things you havent found yet and maybe you can figure out those too!).4) Is it ok if I tilt the table in scenario 1? May I make the masses the same in scenario 1? May I make the table flat in scenario 2? Can I change the scenarios from how they are written?No – this is a really bad idea. You wont get any points for a scenario that isnt what was presented. See the instructions video for setup ideas. Again if you tweak a scenario you will not get any points for that work.5) Is there an applied force from the hand in scenario 2? Yes.6) Can I do both scenarios? Or…do I have to do both scenarios?Sure! You can do both – solve for everything you can! If theres doubles theres doubles – you get credit only once but think of it as insurance. If youve found that one scenario doesnt give you enough points then for sure hop over and add the other one in. 7) Can I get more than 150 points?There are a lot more than 150 points possible on this portfolio. If you get more than 150 points your score will stay at 150. I do recommend that you try for 160 or more points though just in case you make a mistake! Its physics mistakes happen a lot. 🙂 STILL NERVOUS ABOUT COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION? READ THIS!Still Nervous About Coefficient of Friction? Read This!Hello scientists! A lot of people are emailing me nervous about figuring out coefficient of static friction. Mainly that to find it you need to tilt a surface – but the first scenario is not tilted. I totally validate your confusion – youve never measured coefficients of friction before and you want to get it right! Okeedokee so heres my hint: To find coefficient of friction you will have to take the object on the table and the “table” itself and run a quick side-experiment. Then whatever coefficient you get from that side experiment use it for that scenario. Because theres only one coefficient of friction between 2 objects. It doesnt depend on tilt. Yup!The coefficient of friction you get from running that side experiment IS the coefficient of friction for that scenario! 🙂 🙂 :)Keep letting me know how else I can help. Great work!PORTFOLIO 1 – UPLOAD HERE!If your portfolio is a powerpoint a pdf a word document or jpg images:Upload your portfolio and scorecard here just like youve uploaded any other file before.If your portfolio is a Padlet:Upload your scorecard here and also write the link to the Padlet in the comment box.Do not log into your Padlet again until Ive graded it – Padlet will tell me youve edited your work after the due date and you do NOT want that because Ill be marking your Portfolio Late and taking away points.This is set up with infinite uploads in case you want to upload multiple files or find a mistake and want to upload fresh. I’ll grade the latest copy of each document. ‘
