General Physics 1
Major Performance Task

You are an apprentice of Sir Isaac Newton and tasked to create a devise out of
your discussion about Physics. Following you’re A grouping, every group will be
divided into 3 subgroups (Researcher, Presenter and Publisher). You will present your
work in front of other respected scientist and will be graded basing from this rubric:

Researcher Team – the role of this team is to research and make a certain devise.
Conduct deeper understanding of concepts, theories and laws concerning the devise.

Presenter Team – the role of this team is to explain, perform and discuss the devise
in front of the class. They will have to answer questions from the audience about their
devise. They will have to describe its function and its application to everyday life.

Publishing Team – the role of this team is to create an e-book of their output to be
published in our page. The e-book will contain title page, introduction, devise
visualization, explanation and importance to society. The inputs must be backed up
with concepts, laws and theories of physics.
