| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

Motion in One Direction
Grade 11 (Ages 16-17)
Physics
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for high school physics that focus on motion and stability, including understanding and applying concepts like speed, velocity, and acceleration.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Motion | 5 | Discuss the importance of studying motion. Introduce key terms: distance, displacement, speed, and velocity. |
| 2 | Speed Calculation | 10 | Explain how to calculate speed using the formula: Speed = Distance/Time. Provide examples. |
| 3 | Student Activity | 10 | Divide students into pairs. Have them measure distances and time different objects. Calculate their speed. |
| 4 | Differences Between Speed & Velocity | 3 | Discuss the difference between scalar (speed) and vector (velocity) quantities. Use examples. |
| 5 | Real-World Application | 2 | Discuss how motion concepts apply to real-world situations (e.g., driving, sports). |
| 6 | Review & Q&A | 2 | Summarize key points of the lesson. Open the floor for any questions to clarify understanding. |
| 7 | Homework Assignment | 1 | Assign practice problems related to calculating speed and velocity. Provide handout. |
Students will complete a worksheet with exercises on calculating speed and velocity based on real-life scenarios. Completion will be checked during the next class without individual presentations.
Students’ understanding will be assessed through their participation in class activities, the accuracy of their calculations during the student activity, and the completion of their homework assignment.
