Go to http://www.aplusphysics.com/.

Select “Educators”

Select “Webquests”

Complete the Car Crash WebQuest. You will need to work in teams of 3. Each person will be assigned a role. Auto Expert, Collision Expert, or Investigator

The teams are:

·  Jorge, Adrianna, and Vanessa

·  Annalee, Alexis, and Alyssa

·  Caleb, Dominick, and Regan

·  Abby, Kendal, Dane, and Shila (Dane and Shila can work together on one role)

Your first job is to assign roles to each group member. Then read the Introduction and Task.

Each member then needs to click on their role under “Process” and begin their research. The final product will be graded using the attached rubric. Under “Process” a detailed description of what you need to do can be found.
