Hey, I know you all love homework in the holidays, so there are two things that I need you to do in the next 3 weeks. These are designed to get you thinking, revising and summarising the notes and concepts we have learned this term. Bottom line: they will be beneficial to your learning.
Just do it!
Anyway:
The first part of the assignment is to plan, design and draw an eye catching poster that explains one of the subtopics in kinematics. It is a real challenge to put a good poster together, balancing space and information. here is a good one that I really like about coffee:

The subtopics you have to choose from are:
- Vectors
- Motion (the 4 equations)
- Gravity
- Force
- Inertia
- Newton's Laws
- Projectile Motion
- Circular Motion
Please make sure you don't all do the same one. I want to have one poster of each at least. Note that this doesn't have to be done on a computer, but you have this period and next period in the computer room to research or brainstorm the information, diagrams and pictures you may use.
If you have any questions, email me or ask using the comment section below. I wont be able to reply until I get back from camp, but you will have time over the holidays :)

The second part of the assignment is a written part.
You are to investigate, research and write a paragraph on the physics behind all of the following photos.
An example is given at this webpage:
Here are the photos:
(Projectile Motion)
(Refraction)
(breaking the sound barrier)
(The force of sound)
Again, any questions you have, email me. MrWoollaston@gmail.com.
Have fun!
