I’m working on a physics project and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Quick OverviewQuick OverviewThis is your last portfolio entry! Now, you can show off what you can do with fluids, waves, sound & music.At home, you’ll create different scenarios. Please see the instructions below for more details. You’ll measure everything you can about those scenarios and use those measurements to do calculations and show off your physics skills. A scorecard gives you a list of measurements, calculations, and skills that you can choose from. Finally, you’ll present all those measurements, calculations and skills in a presentation. This can be a video, a powerpoint, a word document, a sway, a webpage, a padlet… you get to choose your favorite platform. If the videos are longer than about 1 minute, please upload them to Youtube (unlisted) and include the link in your portfolio document.The portfolio is worth 300 points and is due on Wednesday 5/19 at 11:59 pm.

Download and read the attached instructions for the details on the portfolio. We’ve also attached a second document, a blank scorecard for you to use to keep track of your score as you put your portfolio together. You’ll be uploading your scorecard (with checkmarks where you think you’ve earned points) with your portfolio submittal.
Who and What Are You Allowed To Work With?Who and What Are You Allowed To Work With?You are expected to finish the portfolio by yourself. Do not do the problems with other people and do not share your own results. This is the equivalent of a take-home test where your work is your own.You are allowed to use all our notes and videos on Blackboard to help you as you go. You can also use the textbook and your old Connect work. Do not use other students in the class.If you are stuck, reach out to the professor, she is happy to help!
Measurements with this portfolioMeasurements with this portfolioOne of the scenarios has you create waves inside a container by tapping the side. Here’s some examples of what you can do to make waves:Hit the side of the container with your hand to send ripple/waves across the container
Lift the edge of the container up and down to create waves in the container (careful not to slosh out!)
Clear containers are easiest to work with, you can draw on them with markers to mark measurements
You’ll want a ruler inside the container to measure things and you might have to do this several times to get all the measurements.
Taking a video is a good idea with a timer and a ruler in sight
Pivot has been acting up for a few students lately so don’t count on it to do your measurements
Waves are usually pretty small for this – less than 5 cm high, so if yours are small, don’t worry!
If you hit the side of the container with a steady rhythm, that hitting rhythm is the frequency of the wave. So, if you hit the side of the container once a second to make a wave, the frequency is 1 Hz.
A boat floating in waves has the same buoyant force on it as a boat in still water, for PHY121.The other scenario has you build a straw oboe. Instructions are in a previous learning module. There are many apps that you can use to measure things about the oboe’s sound – here are a few tips:phyphox is my favorite free app that can get much of what you need
be sure to write down how far the phone is from the straw oboe’s end when you make measurements

Please Re-Read the InstructionsPlease Re-Read the InstructionsI’ve been sadly taking points off for missing units, missing measurement tables and people using cylinders instead of spheres. OOPS! Please take the time to double-check the instructions for details that might result in missed opportunities. Here’s one of the rubrics in the instructions that is the most forgotten (note bold letters):
When You Turn Things In…When You Turn Things In…Turn in your project and turn in your Scorecard. This will help us grade it – if you tell us what points you are going for, then we’ll know what to look for. Makes sense, right? Thanks!If you do a video or Padlet, please post a link to your video in YouTube or your Padlet along with your scorecard. Please do a new Padlet for each portfolio (but within one portfolio, you can do more than one scenario). Do not edit your padlets or videos after the due date! To be safe – don’t even load up your Padlet after the due date until you see a grade for it in Blackboard.
