PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3 SUPERHEROES POSTER
MR. VETTER-HTHNC-PHYSICS
OVERVIEW:
Many students have difficulty distinguishing between the concepts of speed, velocity, and acceleration. The goal of this project is to help better understand these three separate ideas by creating superheroes that are given special powers that exemplify each concept. Students, working in groups of two, will create a poster displaying their superheroes along with facts, figures, formulas that creatively display the relationships between speed, velocity and acceleration.
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
How can we visually exemplify the differences between speed, velocity, and acceleration?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
Understand the concept of speed
Understand the concept of velocity
Understand the concept of acceleration
Compare and Contrast these three concepts artistically
