Lesson Plan: Velocity Physics • First Year of Secondary School
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find velocity as the rate of change of displacement, explaining the similarities and differences between speed and velocity.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- use the formula , recognizing that is displacement rather than distance,
- identify velocity as being a vector quantity the magnitude of which is the scalar quantity speed,
- demonstrate that multiple velocity values can be combined to find an average velocity,
- compare average speeds to average velocities for objects that undergo changes of direction.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- speed,
- displacement.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- acceleration.
