Unit 2: Applications of Translation and Rotational Motion Prerequisite Topics The students should know the following prerequisite topics before proceeding with the lesson. ● Motion and Force ● Measurement of length and time ● Basic operations in algebra Lesson Proper Introduction to the Lesson Tracking Movement Materials ● Meter stick or measuring tape ● stopwatch or phone timer ● masking tape or chalk ● small toy car or ball ● smartphone camera Instructions 1. Mark a straight 5-meter path on the classroom floor or hallway using masking tape or chalk. Designate one end as the starting point (0 meters) and the other as the 5-meter mark. 2. Have one student roll a toy car or gently push a ball along the path from the starting point. Another student will use a stopwatch to time the motion. 3. Mark the object's position on the floor every second using masking tape. 4. When the object reaches the 5-meter mark, another student should immediately roll 2.1.

Unit 2: Applications of Translation and Rotational Motion or push the object back along the same path toward the starting point. Continue timing and marking its position every second. 5. Record all positions and time intervals for both the forward and return journeys. Teacher’s Notes ● Pre-mark paths and roles to streamline the activity and manage groups effectively. ● Emphasize precise timing and marking to ensure accurate data collection. ● Circulate and ask guiding questions to prompt student thinking about speed, direction, and displacement. ● Encourage clear data recording by providing a structured table for their observations. ● Facilitate post-activity discussion to connect their observations to concepts of speed, velocity, distance, and displacement. ● Consider graphing the data as an extension to visualize position over time.
