{Get your} Mind on Physics

You wake up in 2124 and are tasked with explaining basic physics concepts. The worlds science archive was destroyed in World War III, and scholars have lost their understanding of basic Newtonian Physics. What are some of the key ideas that you think are the basis of physics? What evidence do you have to support your claims?

Create a visual aid to help you explain physics to the scientists of the 22nd century. (Ex. Information Cube, Miniposter, Webquest, Prezi or PowerPoint)
