Overview
• One way that some students may learn physics concepts is through science fiction or superheroes
• You will create a superhero/superheroine that has one superpower• You can choose them from the list provided
• There are videos related to each power from the list• You can choose a different power from the list (with teacher permission)• Whichever power you choose, you will design a realistic superhero/superheroine
using physics concepts
• You will need to determine physics constraints of these powers

ClassCraft Notes
• Many of the super heroes of today have similarities with the pantheons of gods from earlier civilizations
• For example, many superheroes that are known for speed are similar to the Greek god Hermes/Roman god Mercury
• One difference with modern stories is the aura of science intertwined with the stories

Superpowers List
• Super speed• Super strength• Mass/size change• Invisibility• Flight• Other (with teacher permission)

Creation
• You will not only have to describe the power, but place limits on it (for example: heat vision is not enough, heat vision that can ignite wood or to cut metal is more specific)• The physics behind that power• The consequences of that power• The character backstory and personality (and how they both relate to the
power)• A design of the character’s costume

Powers
• You are not expected to just “know” all of the concepts• I will group you by power types and work with each group individually• I will give hints, tips, and suggestions for this section

Backstory and personality
• Let us say that you chose invisibility• How did the character develop that power?• How does this ability affect the person’s behavior and thinking?
• I would expect approximately one paragraph of at least 3-5 sentences• Spelling and grammar with no major errors
