Quiz: Motion and Forces

·         Homework:  Begin doing background research for your science fair project.  You need a minimum of three sources.  You may use Wikipedia, but it will not count as one of your three sources.  Confirm what you find on Wikipedia by comparing the information with what you find in other sources.  If it is a long-term project, then get it started!  On Friday, be prepared to have your teacher review your research.
