purpose: To demonstrate

knowledge of uniform circular motion.

Introduction: After completing the lessons and activities found in sections A First Look at Uniform Circular Motion, Uniform Circular Motion Tutorial, and Uniform Circular Motion Problems, it's time to apply the knowledge and skills acquired. In this activity, you will find a way to express the concepts related to uniform circular motion in your own words. Your form of expression can be a story, song, poem, letter to a friend, movie, etc.
The project must meet the requirements outlined below but can be presented in a number of creative ways.

Materials: Computer, scientific calculator, Web 2.0 tools (optional)

Procedure:

1. Read and complete lessons A First Look at Uniform Circular Motion, Uniform Circular Motion Tutorial, and Uniform Circular Motion Problems.
2. Complete the project including the following requirements:
   1. Include at least four of the following important concepts in your story. The definitions and examples of these concepts can be found in lessons A First Look at Uniform Circular Motion, Uniform Circular Motion Tutorial, and Uniform Circular Motion Problems.
   2. • Uniform circular motion
      • Centripetal Force
      • Tangential velocity
      • Centripetal Acceleration
      • Circumference
   3. Be creative. Use any method to communicate your story and present it to your instructor. Some possible ways to communicate your story include: podcast poem rap animation diary entry song (with lyrics) letter to a friend story cartoon blog mind map content map storyboard hand-drawn picture story slide presentation video acting out the story with or without narration (could also be narrated images, narrated slides, or cartoon frames) other option approved by your instructor Click on the "Web 2.0 Tools" button in your course for other tools that might be useful. You can plan your story using a graphic organizer to help you organize your thinking.
   4. The physics concepts and terminology must be accurate in the way they are woven into your story and to the context of the storyline. Credit will not be given for simply including the physics terms. Make sure that the point at which the physics concepts are referenced in your story are clear to your instructor. Highlight the term in your text (color, underline, etc.) for emphasis.
   5. Collaboration is encouraged, but each student must be clearly identified in all submissions. Each student must submit their own individual self-evaluation summarizing their individual contributions in all submissions sent by all partners and comparing the project to the physics topics in 2b above.
   6. Properly recognize the work of others (images, video, sound, music, words, etc.) through a "Citations" page (or image) using MLA guidelines.
   7. This will be the rubric used to grade your work. Review it carefully.
   8. Save and submit your completed work as an attachment to the Uniform Circular Motion Project.
