materials and respect other students in every way. If its not yours, dont touch it! If
there are any problems between groups or group members, there will be consequences.
Be nice and learn something!
FINAL PRODUCT
Final product will consist of your project AND a half-page, typed paper explaining how
your project reflects the content of Force, Motion, Energy, and Work. Parameters for the
typed paper will be discussed more towards the due date. The point of this project is to

learn more about force, motion, work, and energy. Use the guiding questions listed above
to test your new knowledge.
