Introduction AND Background Information
10 pts

1) Appropriate Independent variable, dependent variables are identified measured.
2) Experiment is designed to collect data and analyze it appropriately using calculations and graphical analysis.
3) Explanation of applicable physics principles
from AP Physics 1.
4) Hypothesis is made based on design and physics principles.
This can be either through modeling or a paragraph as long as it is thorough
