Lesson Plan3
Objectives : 1. Students are able to identify the differences between scalar and vector quantities..
2. Students are able to recognize the meanings of basic terms in describing the separation between two points : distance and
displacement.
3. Students are able to identify the differences between displacement and distance.
4. Students are able to recognize the meanings of basic terms in describing how fast an object moves : average speed and average
velocity.
5. Students are able to identify the differences between average speed and average velocity.
6. Students are able to identify the differences between average speed and instantaneous speed.
7. Students are able to identify the differences between average velocity and instantaneous velocity.
4. The difference between distance and displacement is 2. The uniqueness of displacement and the
