Rubric (50 pts.) 5 4
Scene Introduction ● The scene is introduced
with its context
● There is a clear question to
be tested
● Scene is well described
with a connection to 2
aspects of physics we
have covered this year
Clip Clip is:
❏ Not longer than 5min
❏ Classroom
appropriate
❏ Shown in video
Shows only what is needed to
understand the scene and its
context
Diagram There is a clear, creative, and
accurate diagram(s) of the
scene that includes knowns
and unknown as well as a free
body diagram (if appropriate)
Assumption There is a clear and complete
list of knowns and unknowns
With clear references to how
the numbers were gotten at
least one value was discovered
directly through research.
Any other assumptions are
noted
Equations There are equations clearly
taken from two different units of
class
Student correctly and clearly
tracks and solves equations for
relevant information for
analysis
