Presentations Due December 4th
Synopsis
For this project, you will investigate the physics of a movie or TV show. Find scenes with stunts or situations that are physically impossible and rate their improbability.
What you’ll be graded on
A powerpoint (or google slides) presentation that details
- The movie/show you’re investigating,
- The situations that you think are impossible,
- Your explanation of the physics that makes the situation impossible.
- Your calculations.
How you’ll be graded
- Presentation
- Is it pretty? – 5pts
- Good graphical support – 5pts
(Did you include videos and pictures that are relevant?) - Is your presentation style engaging. – 5pts
- The Science
- Find 2 physical impossibilities (3 for 1st period) – 5pts
Did you find two situations, and explain why it’s not ok. - Found supporting science (equations / laws / theories) 10pts
Did you use the right branch of physics to claim this was impossible? - Calculate real numbers – 10pts
Do the equations support what you’re trying to prove?
Are your calculations correct? - Discussion of numbers / reality – 10pts
- Find 2 physical impossibilities (3 for 1st period) – 5pts
