A comprehensive lesson which teaches students how to read motion graphs, calculate horizontal and vertical motion in projectiles using SUVAT equations and explain the effect of drag on projectiles leading to terminal velocity. Lesson is tailored towards the AQA A-level physics specification - Mechanics
Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.
Learning objective: Use SUVAT equations to calculate projectile motion.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
SC1: I describe components of displacement-time and velocity-time graphs.
SC2: I can use and manipulate SUVAT equations.
SC3: I can calculate components of projectile motion.
Contains past paper questions that target this topic, some questions require knowledge from prior lessons. There is also a guide attached with written walkthroughs of how to reach the final answer, even for those tricky 1 mark questions.
Powerpoint contains 17 slides and 13 past paper questions.
A comprehensive lesson which teaches students how to calculate and justify if a system is in equilibrium in regards to turning forces, calculate the moment at an angle, describe how the centre of mass and centre of gravity of an object affect its stability and apply these to past paper calculations. Lesson is tailored towards the AQA A-level physics specification - Mechanics
Tasks are differentiated to suit the needs of each learner.
Learning objective: Calculate moments and apply this idea to object stability.
By the end of the lesson learners should be able to:
Success criteria:
SC1: Describe how to calculate moments.
SC2: Explain how to increase object stability.
SC3: Compare the centre of mass and centre of gravity.
