Lesson 2

Location:School Field

13

Activity: Javelin

Students will:-› Gain insights on how angles affect how far

the javelin can travel› Further understand concepts regarding

projectile motion› Learn to deal with real-world problems› Use ICT effectively outdoors

14

Meaningful Learning

Authenticity› Students can apply their knowledge of projectile motion on sports

games such as Javelin or Archery

Constructivism› Minimal guidance from teachers. Students are required to draw their

own hypotheses using their findings

Active› Effectively uses ICT tools outdoors› Active discussions between students› Every student is engaged with the activity

Intentional› Students’ learning will be monitored during lessons and through their

daily updates on PbWorks

15

ICT Tools Camcorder – to

record the projectile motion of the javelin

Tablet PC/iPad for data recording and discussion activities

16

ICT Tools Data-logger with WIFI

capability› sensor is attached to

javelin to record data for range, height, speed, angle, time for the experiment

Outdoor projector – for video screening and presentation

17

Lesson Layout Students will test out how angles can affect range of a

projectile by themselves (minimal guidance from teachers) by carrying out the experiment (a more detailed explanation regarding the experiment will be shown in the next slide)

Students will record their findings on their iPad/tablet PCs, discuss, and propose theories

During the activity, students will also be required to use a camcorder to record the motion of the javelin

Teacher will record the students activities in general

Inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning

18

Lesson Layout At the end of the activity, students will present their

findings and hypotheses using the outdoor projector and their tablet PCs/iPad

Teacher will discuss with the students the correct theory

Students will carry out the experiment again to investigate the accuracy of the science theory

Students will log-on to their PbWorks and update it

Teacher will monitor the students’ progress through the presentation and their daily input in PbWorks

Inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning

19

The Experiment Pre-requisite:

› Students should have tried javelin throwing during their Physical Education class› A safety briefing will be conducted before the start of the activity› An assistant Physical Education teacher will be on site to assist students with the javelin

throw

Students will set up the experiment as instructed by teacher on site

Only one chosen student from each group will be throwing the javelin to minimise anomalies

Another student will be recording the motion

The data will be recorded in a form of a graph› Data that will be recorded:

Angle of release of javelin Velocity of release of javelin (both x and y components) Time of flight(see bottom notes for additional information)

20

Students will make use of these equations to find out how angle affects the range of the projectile

Resources – Worksheet: Kinematics Equations

21

Resources – Online Worksheet: Calculating range

22

Lesson 3

Location:Physics Lab

23

Activity: Calculation

Students will:-› Be introduced to a data-retrieving software› Further develop their understanding by

doing calculations on their own respective results

› Learn the correct way of calculating values in projectile motion problems

› Learn to work together in a group

24

Meaningful Learning

Authenticity› Students can put their theory of projectile motion to use when they

need to calculate using real-life data

Constructivism› Minimal guidance from teachers. Students are required to calculate

their own range using their findings

Active› Active discussions between students› Every student is engaged with the activity› Actively learning new things when exploring ‘Science Workshop’

Intentional› Students’ learning will be monitored during lessons and through their

daily updates on PbWorks

25

ICT Tools Science

Workshop Table computer

for data-retrieving

Projector for model answer viewing and video screening

26

Lesson Layout Due to limited computers, students will be broken into groups.

Students will then be introduced to “Science Workshop” software.

They will be taught of how to retrieve the data that they acquired the previous lesson.

Using the kinematics formulas they have been taught previously, they will be asked to find the range and angle of their results.

They will be given a worksheet to record their results.

Inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning

27

Lesson Layout Within their groups, they will compare their findings and share

what they did right and what they did wrong.

Like in the previous lesson, teacher will present calculations based on the model graph that he showed previously.

Once all this done, the students will be entertained by their own show.

Video screening of their practical lesson will be shown.

Students will update their daily journal at pbworks

Inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning

Lesson 4

Location:Computer Lab

30

Activity: Conclusion

Students will:-› Understand about projectile motion in brief and

specifics after sharing with one another and hearing from the teacher who will formally conclude the chapter

› Test their knowledge of projectile motion on the game used in Lesson 1 (http://nerdnirvana.org/g4m3s/Maximus.htm)

› Watch videos to solidify their concepts about projectile motion

31

Meaningful Learning

Authenticity› Students can see how projectile motion is applied across various

real-life applications

Constructivism› Students then play the game which was first introduced in Lesson

1 to improve their score by themselves

Active› Use of a PB wiki to continually update their ideas› Students’ use of ICT to collaborate with one another

Intentional› Teacher to fulfil the requirements of teaching the chapter on

Projectile Motion

32

ICT Tools PB Wiki

› Updated continually for the 4 lessons

SMART Interactive Whiteboard› Students get to show

one another the fundamental concepts of Projectile Motion via the game

33

Lesson Layout Teacher to formally conclude the chapter of

projectile motion

Students will test their knowledge of projectile motion on the game in Lesson 1

Teacher will reinforce concepts / misconceptions using Youtube videos

Students will update their reflections on PB Wiki
