Introduction
 Showing them a boy on a moving swing then asking when they swing
how the swing moves , asking them what they observe when we throw
a stone in lake by doing it experimentally.
Then I will listen and discuss their answers
Teaching activities
 I will ask them to throw a stone in bowl of water , asking them what
they predict before and what they observe trying to explain this
observation with them
 I will ask them how the swing moves .
 Then I will illustrate the periodic motion concept asking them to give
me examples for it .
 Then I will ask them to make a simple pendulum experiment by using
pencil, a 30 cm long thread , metallic piece and a stop watch.
 Asking them what they predict if I push the metallic piece , asking
them what they observe after pushing it, and I will ask them to explain
this.
 Illustrating with them the concept of the oscillatory motion and the
relation of the kinetic energy for an oscillating body.
 Asking them to give me 3 examples for oscillatory motion.
 Illustrate the relation between the object displacement and its Velocity
according to its rest position.
 Illustrate the concept and laws for both the periodic time and the
frequency.
 Solving with them problems.
 Drawing a graph for simple harmonic motion for an oscillating body
that its frequency increases at constant amplitude,
 I will summarize the main points
 I evaluate them
