Students oftentimes have difficulty visualizing the relation between 2D Force Body Diagrams and real life situations. I have designed the following project to help students make connections between the 2D and 3D world. Students may work alone or in pairs to solve one of the five physics problems mathematically and pictorially. If I were to do this project again, I would add in an oral presentation component and/or a written assignment asking students more conceptual questions. Below are links to the assignment and solution pdfs for the 3D Force Project, pictures of the example project I created and a student example.
