Grade: 10

Number present:

absent:0

Theme of the lesson

Motion graphs (distance, velocity and acceleration against time).

Learning objectives that are achieved at this lesson(Subject Programme reference)

Ø  plot and interpret distance-time, velocity-time and acceleration-time graphs

Ø  calculate the area under velocity-time graph to work out distance travelled for motion with constant velocity or constant acceleration

Lesson objectives

At the end of the lesson, all students are expected to:

Ø  plot and interpret motion graphs involving distance, time and speed; and

Ø  recall Kinematics equation

Success criteria

Plots a graph.

Calculate are under the graph.

Calculates kinematic quantities.

Uses kinematic equations.

Language objectives

Subject-specific vocabulary & terminology:

Vocabularies to emphasize:

distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, deceleration

Values instilled at the lesson

Students’ achieve of specific learning objectives, and get a certain amount of knowledge, but also develop the ability to apply their knowledge in solving learning and life problems,

Cross-curricular links

Physics and Mathematics by geometric function.

ICT skills

ICT links: Game Kahoot  about kinematics by Personal computer.

Organizing time.

Checking homework in pairs.

·         Comparing Motions

Have students describe motions by either looking at pictures, diagrams or watching videos.

*Note: Students need to realize that motions can be described as uniform or accelerating.

·         Go over the lesson objectives.

·         Teacher Talk

Students will participate in the discussion of the following:

(a)   uniform motion

(b)   uniformly accelerated motion

*Key ideas:

-Kinematic equations should be recalled (or retaught).

-Gradients of graph should be anlaysed (i.e gradient of distance-time graph is speed.

-Area under a velocity-time graph is distance travelled.

*Suggested Activities:

- Use Powerpoint for this plan

- Exposition of formulas and graphs

·         Peer Talk (optional)

Encourage students to qualitatively describe motions of objects based on given graphs.

·         Student Workshop

Have students complete past questions on graphing motions.

The teacher observes, checks and evaluates the students.

Gives feedback to the students.

Generalization: Students will be asked if they have achieved the lesson’s objectives.

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check students’ learning?

Health and safety regulations

Differentiation will arise naturally on the topic about vectors, since the mathematic skills needed are significant. Only the most able learners are expected to solve the tasks on vector components.

Problems and exercises will be presented throughout the lesson to continuously evaluate learners’ progress

Health and safety:  To do exercisefor the eyes

ICT:

Learners could be asked to research themselves using a Google

Reflection

Were the lesson objectives/learning objectives realistic? Did all learners achieve the LO?

If not, why?

Did my planned differentiation work well?

Did I stick to timings?

What changes did I make from my plan and why?

Use the space below to reflect on your lesson. Answer the most relevant questions from the box on the left about your lesson.
