If you choose to have someone be in a test question (i.e. a classmate falling off a cliff--- make sure you get permission first)
You can solve a different way that you think is better or more efficient OR correct the key if it is wrong.
1) Each question Must have multiple parts. You need to have a minimum of TWO calculations for 1 question. You can either write 1 larger question with multiple calculations or you can choose to break down your question into subparts like shown in the example below.
2) You must state which specific content skill(s) the question assesses AND write questions based on specific skills that are required. (You'll find this information for each test in the actual question below)
3) Video record a message where you walk through (step by step) how you solved the problem and/or if AI solved the problem include any changes you made in approaching the problem in a different way, if AI was wrong, or if you agree with the AI answer explain each step and why it is accurate
Note: You can use questions that we did in class on slide decks, practice sheets, activities and formatives and change the scenario or numbers around to guide your question writing if you'd like. You cannot have the same questions as another current or former physics student.
Sample Test Question with Answer Key (Cannot use as your own)
UNIT 1 TEST QUESTIONS PART 1:
Specific Requirements for unit 1 below: (Test questions and answer key)
You MUST write 1 problem that assesses 1D kinematics and another problem that assesses 2D kinematics. The remaining question can come from any of the below topics (Be sure to have multiple parts to your questions and to label which topic(s) are being assessed)
TOPICS:
Dimensional Analysis
1D Kinematics
Vectors and vector addition
2D Kinematics (i.e. projectile motion)
UNIT 3 TEST QUESTIONS PART 1:
Specific Requirements for unit 3 below: (Test questions and answer key)
You must write 1 problem assessing skills in conservation of energy or work and 1 problem assessing skills in conservation of momentum or change in momentum/impulse. The remaining question can be on any other topic you choose. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 2 PARTS TO A QUESTION, OR IF THERE IS ONLY 1 PART THEN IT REQUIRES 2 CALCULATIONS TO SOLVE!
Topics:
Unit 1:
Dimensional analysis
Graphical interpretation of motion
1d kinematics problem-solving
Vectors
1d kinematics problems with vectors
2d kinematics basics (calculating resultants)
2d kinematics: projectile motion
Unit 2:
Newton’s Laws in 1d
Newton’s Laws in 2d or inclined planes
Unit 3:
Conservation of Energy
Change in energy, work and power
Conservation of Momentum
Impulse, or change in momentum
UNIT 4 TEST QUESTIONS PART 1:
Specific Requirements for unit 3 below: (Test questions and answer key)
You must write 1 problem assessing skills related to circuits, 1 problem assessing skills related to electric fields or magnetic fields and 1 problem assessing any other topic in physics. YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 2 PARTS TO A QUESTION, OR IF THERE IS ONLY 1 PART THEN IT REQUIRES 2 CALCULATIONS TO SOLVE!
Note: If you choose AI to generate questions- Most AI tools are not able to accurately solve for combination circuits. You'll have to be extra meticulous about checking if the answer is correct and then explaining that in your video/audio recording.
