Summary of clip: In this clip Dylan is in charge of guarding the client.  After waking up and realizing that the client is not with her she finds him with the female antagonist.  She then realizes that the client is actually the villain.  The scene ends with Dylan getting shot and then rewinding to show the clip in slow motion.  You see that Dylan does not actually get shot and how she survives the situation.

Connection of flickclip to the concept: During the slow motion part of the clip you get to see the bullet projected from the gun.

3. This clip can be used to introduce Newton’s Second Law of Motion.  A fun way to do this is to build and shoot rockets.  A good rocket building lesson can be found at: http://wings.avkids.com/Curriculums/Forces_Motion/rocketlaunch_summary.html
