Newton's Laws of Motion Golf Project 
STEM is a teaching philosophy that integrates all four disciplines together into a single, cross-disciplinary program which offers instruction in real-world applications and teaching methods. In this project students must apply Science:Newton's Three Laws of Motion Technology:research the laws and how golf works when using Newton's Laws. Engineering:create a miniature golf course demonstrating how each law applies Math:calculate perimeter and area of the course.

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

explained and applied

Fair

Newton's 1st Law of Motion: a body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless and until an external force acts on it.

It is discussed correctly.
Average

Newton's 1st Law of Motion: a body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless and until an external force acts on it.

It is are correctly. Some attempt to connect to the real world is made but is confusing.
Good

Newton's 1st Law of Motion: a body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless and until an external force acts on it.

It is discussed correctly but may not be completely relevant. The laws are connected to the real world but may be confusing at times.
Excellent

Newton's 1st Law of Motion: a body remains in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless and until an external force acts on it.

Student is able to explain how it is relevant to the project. They are clear and well developed, easy to understand and can connected to the real-world.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

explained and applied

Fair

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object depends upon two variables – the net force acting on the object and the mass of the object.

It is discussed correctly.
