Date: 1/9/2012 and 1/10/2012
Class: Physical Science
Periods: B2,3 and W1,3,4
Outcomes: Students will be able to determine distance and displacement and calculate speed, velocity and acceleration.
Standards: UCP.1-3; A.1,2; B.4
Student Needs:
Assessment Plan: Students will discuss which was more useful for the activity: speed or acceleration and distance or displacement
Lesson Outline: Ask students what distance, displacement, speed and velocity are > Give directions for the activity: as a class we will measure the distance from the end of our hallway to the end of the opposite hallway > Once that is finished, groups will send a representative to be timed walking/jogging to the other end of the hallway and back > Once they have their times, they will calculate their average speed > we will then discuss the net velocities for different parts of their path > practice calculating acceleration > Students will discuss which was more useful for the activity: speed or acceleration and distance or displacement
Review: Ask students what distance, displacement, speed and velocity are
Anticipatory Set/Opening: Everyone gets a meter stick and there could be some running involved
Key Points: speed is distance/time; acceleration is speed/time
Teaching Input: Giving directions, explaining acceleration
Modeling: Demonstrate calculations
Checking for Understanding: Have students repeat directions
Guided Practice/Monitoring: Activity
Closure: Students will discuss which was more useful for the activity: speed or acceleration and distance or displacement
Independent Practice: Ch. 2 Review
