SECTION: PHYSICS
MODULE: 7
Part A: Units
1. Motion
a. Distance and displacement
b. Speed and velocity
c. Acceleration
2. Force and motion
a. Newton's laws
b. Applications
Part B: Project
Apply motion and Newton's laws using everyday examples.
Project Title: Motion in Everyday Life
Objective: Measure motion and explain force effects using simple observations.
Project Instructions:
- 1. Measure distance and time for a short walk or run.
- 2. Calculate speed and describe the motion.
- 3. Describe one example of acceleration or deceleration.
- 4. Explain one real-life example for each of Newton's laws.
- 5. Consult your coach where necessary.
Evidence to Submit:
- • Distance-time measurements and speed calculation.
- • Notes on acceleration example.
- • Newton's laws examples.
Submission
Part C: Training Others
Guide a peer on motion concepts and Newton's laws.
Guidance:
- • Explain distance vs displacement with examples.
- • Demonstrate how to calculate speed.
- • Discuss one Newton's law and its application.
Reflection:
- • What did the learner understand well?
- • What needed more explanation?
- • What support do you need from your coach?
Submission
