Preparing an exemlpary piece on Contact and Non-Contact Forces.
Exemplary Pieces.

Congratulations to all those people who acheived 100 ponits which we call 'exemplary pieces' for the Thrills and Spills open learning challenge.
Everyone wants to do their best and sometimes it takes a bit longer to produce a quality piece to be proud of. An exemplary piece is one that we could show to others and say, "This is what we were aiming for." But how do you make it happen?
Here are five easy steps.

Step 1: Read carefully and get it clear.
Make sure you read the whole task and know what you are aiming for.

Step 2: Learn about it.

Research it well and try to understand the facts that can be used. Then decide how to explain them in your own words and include them. (Don't just copy and paste - that is plagiarism)

Step 3: Choose a way to present it.
Will it be presented as a model, a brochure or a poster? Will you use a physical medium such as paper, cardboard or transparency or a digital medium such as word, publisher or powerpoint presentation?
Step 4: Write it.
Plan, draft, edit and publish your work creatively. Try to make it express your own unique personality.

Step 5: Evaluate it. 
Does it meet the requirements? Is everything included?

God has made you special and given you amazing gifts. 
Mr. Latimore and Mr. Van de Mortel hope that you show everything you are capable of and enjoy the rewards for all your efforts.
