The Motor Principle Project
Performance task
-Build a motor
-Explain how it works
Missed Performance Task
*If you are not able to complete the motor on Friday you
must build one on your own over the break.
*Please schedule 20 minutes after school any day in first
week back after Christmas for evaluation of your motor.
*This task will be weighted the same as a lab.
Missing Labs
*Any missing labs must be submitted the first day back
after Christmas. If you chose not to do a lab, it is equivalent
to leaving half a test blank.
*If you are missing data you must stay after school before
you leave for Christmas to do the experiment again.
*Only data may be shared between group members. The
rest of the lab must be your own work.

Waves and Sound
*After the break we will complete a short unit on Waves
and Sound.
*Test or performance task for this unit will be determined
in the new year.
Jan19,20,23,24 Culminating Tasks/Exam Review
*These days are reserved for exam review and culminating
tasks. Dates for each student’s presentation will be
scheduled in the new year.
*If you wish to work on your culminating task over the
holidays, have your topic approved before Christmas.
