PROFICIENCY #1 - 
Experiment with and explain how Newton's Laws of Motion apply to the physical world.

Here is where I might want to put the problem that I tested.

Followed by my hypothesis...

Followed by my experimental design (including materials and identifying the CV, IV, DV)

External Variables

Write in paragraph form how I consciously eliminated external variables. This is factual writing should include how your conducted your experiment and how you thought about external variables before you started the experiment.

Results of experiment

What did your data tell you? Include in this section your graph to support.  It should be factual.



Meeting the proficiency

This can be written in a variety of formats.  Prove to me that you know and can effectively explain the proficiency.  We will take a look at this written response in terms of Costa's Levels of Inquiry.  This should be a meaningful response.



PROFICIENCY #2 
Experiment with and explain how speed and acceleration impact Newton's Laws of Motion.
