Newton Brochure
The final requirement of this
brochure is a short biography
of Sir Isaac Newton. Where is
he from? How did he become
famous? What were some
significant accomplishments?
Are his ideas still relevant
today?
Introduce Mr. Newton to us as
a person we can relate to. For
the purpose of this project you
can even pretend that he is still
alive and kicking!
Brief Bio of Sir Isaac Newton
A creative approach to Newton’s three laws of motion.
Getting Started Use this area to brainstorm your ideas,
make comments, identify resources you
plan to use, etc.
Project Guidelines
What do I need to do?
Each law should be addressed
individually, and you are allowed to
choose from the following formats:
1. Write a poem about one of the
laws.
2. Create a haiku.
3. Retell a fairy tale so that it
breaks a law of motion.
4. Insert a picture and describe the
law without using the words
motion, reaction, or force.
5. Rank laws in order of
importance.
6. Create dialogue debating the
rank ordering.
7. Create a court reporters
transcript for court case about
broken law.
8. Imagine traveling to a planet on
which only two of the laws
"work." Describe your
experience.
9. Pretend you are a superhero
that can break one law at any
time. Which would it be and
when would you choose to exert
this power?
10. Another of your imaginative
ideas....
Your task is to create a brochure
outlining the concepts and ideas
relating Newton’s three laws of motion.
You will be paired with one other
individual and together you will create a
product that helps the reader
understand these forces of nature.
You will have “freedom of expression”
for this project by having the
opportunity to demonstrate what you
know through a variety ways. The first
major requirement – your brochure is a
team project with both people
contributing to the final product.
Secondly, the brochure must address
the three laws of motion and explain
the principles behind each. Finally, the
brochure is limited to standard
pamphlet size – two pages, one page
front-back.
Be Creative! Here’s the objective: Create a brochure that illustrates
your knowledge of Newton’s three laws of motion. Each
of the three laws must be addressed with “real world”
applicability. Meaning, definitions only will not suffice.
You must include an analogy, example, situation,
illustration, etc., that links the definition to real learning.
You are welcome and encouraged to include pictures
and representations that help you relate Newton’s law to
you and others. While attempting to complete the
project think about the meaning of a brochure: you are
providing information about a product or service. You
are trying to “sell” the laws of motion to people that
don’t know their significance to daily life.
Again, the significance of the project is to inform people
about Newton’s three laws of motion and how they
apply to our everyday life. You are not required to do
one column on each law and each brochure will look
different. The requirement is to address each of the
three laws and address their meaning and importance in
a creative and interesting way.
