LESSON 1: LESSON AND ASSESSMENT PLAN

Learning Objectives: Work is the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied through a
displacement.

1. How do we define work in Physics, including when it is positive, negative, or


zero?
2. How do we determine the work done on a physical system when the net force
acting on it and its displacement are known?
3. If the force is constant during a given displacement, then the work done is the
product of the displacement and the component of the force parallel or
Purpose of the Lesson:
antiparallel to the displacement.
Central Focus
4. Work (change in energy) can be found from the area under a graph of the
magnitude of the force component parallel to the displacement versus
displacement.
5. How do we define power in physics?
6. How do we determine the rate by which work is done (power) on an object or
system?
By the end of this Lesson, students will be able to:
 Use mathematics and computational thinking to calculate the work done by
a specified constant force on an object that undergoes a specified
displacement.
 Relate the work done by a force to the area under a graph of force as a
function of position, and calculate this work in the case where the force is a
Learning Objective(s)
linear function of position.
 Use the scalar product operation to calculate the work performed by a
specified constant force F on an object that undergoes a displacement in a
plane.
 Use mathematics and computational thinking to calculate the rate by which
work is done (power) on a system or by a system.

Students come in and have the 5 - 10 minutes of class to complete their warm-up.
Warm-ups have been a productive pedagogical strategy I use daily, as it ensures
that students are on task and focused as they enter the classroom. The
classroom is laid out with 13 lab tables and students were assigned to their own
seats. Each table seats two students and it has been customary that students
seat at the same seat from day to day unless I move them due to distractions.
These tables serve as the students’ groups when doing cooperative work, unless I
choose to strategically group them. I walk around the room as students complete
the warm-up, answering any questions and making sure all students are on task.

During each activity, I will use an online countdown timer to grasp students’
Facilitation & Safety attention and administer instructions. I also use this in between transitions, to
maintain classroom management and order in between activities.

For students’ safety I organized the physical space of the classroom for movement
and interaction. I made it easy for students to pull their desks together to do small
group work. Spaces are created on both ends of the tables so that it is easy for
the students to walk around. It also allows my movement around the classroom
to give help to my students and it makes my teaching more engaging. It also helps
with classroom control.
The classroom is also made safe for students to participate and ask questions. No
matter what a student says, I make it a habit to respond with respect. I model
respect for my students, and teach them to show respect to one another.

data/analysis.
Students’ lab report
grading will be another
source of evaluation.
Students come in and have the 5 - 10 minutes of class to complete their warm-up.
Warm-ups have been a productive pedagogical strategy I use daily, as it ensures that
students are on task and focused as they enter the classroom. The classroom is laid
out with 13 lab tables and students were assigned to their own seats. Each table
seats two students and it has been customary that students seat at the same seat from
day to day unless I move them due to distractions. These tables serve as the students’
groups when doing cooperative work, unless I choose to strategically group them. I
walk around the room as students complete the warm-up, answering any questions
and making sure all students are on task.

During each activity, I will use an online countdown timer to grasp students’ attention
Facilitation & Safety and administer instructions. I also use this in between transitions, to maintain
classroom management and order in between activities.

For students’ safety I organized the physical space of the classroom for movement
and interaction. I made it easy for students to pull their desks together to do small
group work. Spaces are created on both ends of the tables so that it is easy for the
students to walk around. It also allows my movement around the classroom to give
help to my students and it makes my teaching more engaging. It also helps with
classroom control.
The classroom is also made safe for students to participate and ask questions. No
matter what a student says, I make it a habit to respond with respect. I model respect
for my students, and teach them to show respect to one another.
Language Students will be able to analyze situations in which an object’s mechanical energy is

Teacher will group students in groups of 4 to do the investigation: Teacher will


hand out the lab guide and the materials.

Students will work in a group of 4 to read, discuss, come up with a hypothesis and
think about how to setup the experiment to collect/analyze data using guiding
question and drafting the lab report.

How does the transformation of a system’s potential energy to kinetic energy


demonstrate conservation of energy?
Objectives
Calculate the speed of a falling object as it hits the ground by using a model.
Interpret data to find the relationship between potential energy and kinetic
Body energy for a falling object.
(45 minutes)

There are many examples of situations where energy is conserved. One such
example is a rock falling from a given height above the ground. If the rock starts at
rest, at the moment the rock is dropped, the rock-Earth system only has potential
energy. As the rock falls, potential energy decreases, but the system’s kinetic
energy increases. The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy remains
constant if friction is neglected.
.

Closure Teacher will ask probing questions on energy conservation by cold calling on
(5 minutes) students to check for understanding.
Students will be in groups of 4. Every student in the group has a task to perform.
