How to make public service announcements:

"Public service announcements (PSAs) give citizens information about issues so that they can think about them and then take positive action."

You will conceive, plan, and produce your own PSAs in the form of compelling and brief desktop movies that will be converted into DVDs for distribution. Each PSA will deliver a strong message on either seatbelt use, impaired driving, or a combination of both. You'll become familiar with the concepts of a public service announcement, the technologies needed to produce your own PSA, the science of vehicle use, and the concept of conveying a powerful message to a general audience.

Planning is crucial for this project. You'll need to
1. research appropriate information and data on this issue;
2. develop a storyboard to outline your video;
3. and produce your video.

Your goal is to get the viewers to take action: to use their seatbelts, to avoid impaired driving, or both. You are to do this using physics: Newton's Laws of Motion, Conservation of Energy, or Conservation of Momentum.
