Fifth Grade Force and Motion
Kristin Patrona, Sarah Rybarczyk, Sarah Zwirner

Due to overpopulation on Earth, you have inhabited a new planet where friction does not exist. However, you have brought all of your materials from your home planet, Earth, and you are expecting them to work in the same manner they did on Earth. Therefore, a team has been assembled to analyze and troubleshoot the problems which have begun to occur. You have been selected as a member of this team which consists of a doctor, police officer, engineer, chef, and teacher.

Assume the identity of one of the team members and determine how your daily life will be affected. You will be responsible for creating a technology presentation to share your findings and solutions at a Town Hall meeting.
