CAPE Physics Unit 1 Lesson Plan - lesson 17

Date: October 30th


Topic: Motion
Duration: 60 minutes
General Objective: Appreciate the effects of forces acting on a body.

Specific Objectives (Classified Under Cognitive, Psychomotor, and


Affective Domains):

1. Cognitive: State Newton's laws of motion, understanding that an unbalanced external force
is required to change the velocity of a body.
2. Cognitive: Solve problems related to Newton's laws of motion.
3. Psychomotor: Demonstrate the application of Newton's laws through problem-solving and
practical examples.
4. Affective: Show an appreciation for the importance of forces in understanding motion and
dynamics.

Subject Matter

 Topic: Newton's Laws of Motion and their applications


 Reference Text: CAPE Physics Unit 1 textbook, Chapter on Mechanics (Newton’s Laws)
 Materials: Whiteboard, markers, projector, laptop for simulations, worksheets, objects of
different masses (ball, cart), stopwatch, measuring tape
 Value Focus: Critical thinking, problem-solving, and appreciation for the role of forces in
everyday life

Procedure

Preparatory Activities (5 minutes)

 Drill: Start the class with a quick review of previous concepts, including vector quantities and
their addition.
 Review: Recap uniform motion and acceleration, emphasizing the need for forces to cause
changes in motion.
 Examples: Briefly discuss familiar examples of objects in motion, such as cars accelerating
and balls rolling down slopes.

Development Activities

1. Motivation (5 minutes)

 Show a short video or animation demonstrating various motions (e.g., a car accelerating, a
person pushing a box). Ask students why these objects move or change direction. This will
prompt the need for understanding the effects of forces.

2. Presentation (20 minutes)

 Introduce Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia): Explain that a body remains at rest or in
uniform motion unless acted on by an unbalanced external force. Give examples such as a
stationary object remaining still unless pushed.
 Introduce Newton's Second Law (F=ma): Discuss the relationship between force, mass, and
acceleration, showing how an object's acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on
it and inversely proportional to its mass.
 Introduce Newton's Third Law (Action and Reaction): Explain that for every action force,
there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Demonstrate this by showing how pushing a
wall exerts a force back on the person.
 Visual Learning: Use diagrams and motion simulations to illustrate the concepts.
 Auditory Learning: Describe real-life scenarios, emphasizing key points verbally.
 Kinaesthetic Learning: Allow students to interact with objects (pushing carts, dropping balls)
to observe forces in action.

Discussion (10 minutes)

 Facilitate a discussion on everyday situations where Newton's laws apply, such as riding a
bicycle, driving a car, or using a seatbelt.
 Ask students how these laws help explain the safety features in cars, such as airbags and
seatbelts.
 Use guided questioning to explore why heavier objects require more force to accelerate than
lighter objects.

Generalization (5 minutes)

 Summarize the key points, emphasizing the relationship between forces and motion.
 Reinforce that an unbalanced external force is required to change an object's velocity.

Evaluation (Giving Examples) (10 minutes)

 Multiple-choice questions: Ask students to identify which of Newton's laws explains


different scenarios.
 Problem-solving: Provide a worksheet with simple problems related to F=ma, such as
calculating acceleration when a certain force is applied to an object.
 Practical demonstration: Have students predict the outcome of pushing objects of different
masses and then test their predictions.

Assignment

 Examples:

1. Solve problems related to calculating force, mass, and acceleration using Newton’s
Second Law.
2. Write a short paragraph explaining a real-life application of each of Newton's laws
(e.g., riding a bicycle).

Differentiation to Incorporate Learning Styles

 Visual Learners: Use diagrams, motion graphs, and video simulations to illustrate concepts.
 Auditory Learners: Explain the laws with verbal examples and conduct discussions.
 Kinaesthetic Learners: Allow hands-on activities, such as pushing objects and using
equipment to measure forces and motion.
