Explore the outcomes of the learning, emphasising why this will be beneficial for the learner
Demonstration
Use formative feedback – Assessment for Learning
Vary the groupings within the classroom for the purpose of learning – individual; pair; group/team; friendship; teacher selected; single sex; mixed sex
Offer different ways for the students to demonstrate their understanding
Allow the students to “show off” their learning
Consolidation
Structure active reflection on the lesson content and the process of learning
Seek transfer between “subjects”
Review the learning from this lesson and preview the learning for the next
Promote ways in which the students will remember
A “news broadcast” approach to learning
Activation
Construct problem-solving challenges for the students
Use a multi-sensory approach – VAK
Promote a language of learning to enable the students to talk about their progress or obstacles to it
Learning as an active process, so the students aren’t passive receptors

4. P2.1.2 Forces and Motion

15. ‘How far away is it from Earth now?’
Plenary Question... D
The fastest moving man-made object was the Helios 2 space probe. It travelled at about 67 km/s ( m/s), which is Mach 203 (not that sound can travel in space).
Space probes can travel so quickly, because there is no air resistance so they do not lose any of their kinetic energy.
The probe Voyager 1 is travelling at 17.5 km/s and has been travelling for around 30 years. Answer the question below and write out your working in your book.
‘How far away is it from Earth now?’

16. d) Backwards or Forwards?
Write down a set of instructions for a person to get from point A to Tesco via two different routes
Think about the two routes and describe as fully as you can the differences in speeds and direction of the speed
1mile A

17. A
d) Vectors?
On this racetrack a car covers miles in distance by covering a circuit in a lap. After 1 lap the car is back to the start and has completed the lap at a constant speed of 30 mph.
However, when we think of the term “velocity” we describe not just the speed but the direction. In this case the “velocity” changes direction all the time. We call it a vector quantity. This feature is important in helping us describe the motion of objects clearly!

24. e) Acceleration A
A more grown up way to express this is to look at the change in velocity as a Greek “” term over the time period.
We can also use the idea of ;
v = final velocity
u = initial or starting velocity

25. e) Acceleration A

26. 1.2 Quick Questions D
Copy out the questions below and draw a diagram or formulae to help you explain each one. Make sure you do it all on your own!
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
What is acceleration and what are its units?
What is deceleration? A

27. Acceleration and Power
What makes a vehicle good at accelerating? There are two main factors; weight & brake horse power (BHP or kW). We can compare different cars by excluding the weight i.e. Diving the Power by the Mass to create a Power to Weight ratio.
Write an article explaining the reason for the 0-60 times for these cars referring to the data shown below. Also the idea of how to use it and power to weight ratios to compare any car. (You can use a table if required)
Key words: fair test, variables, power, weight, time, max power, etc...
3 - Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Power-to-weight ratio: mph: 3.6 seconds Top speed: 205 mph
1 – Saleen S7 Power-to-weight ratio: mph: 2.8 seconds Top speed: 235 mph
2 - Porsche Carrera GT
Power-to-weight ratio: mph: 3.9 seconds Top speed: 205 mph

28. D
Tortoise & Hare!
In your books sketch a quick graph of a race in which a tortoise and a hare cover the same distance. The tortoise wins the race but the hare has a quicker top speed in parts of the race. You axis should be (0s to 100s and 0m to 1000m)
Try and justify your answer with some maths!
“Yes Mr Hare you were right he is on steroids!”

29. Distance Travelled.... A
We can work out a really cool thing by working out the area under a v-t graph. If we add it all up it actually means the distance covered!
Make a sketch copy of the diagram and work this out for each of the journeys. (with full working)

30. Deceleration in context of a car braking....
This graph is a simple example of a car travelling at 20m/s for a time of 10 seconds.
Then the car brakes / slows down / decelerates at a constant rate till it stops. This takes 5s.
Use the acceleration formula to work out the deceleration. Then write a sentence and draw a sketch graph to match

32. Acceleration Questions...
Copy out the each question, sketch a velocity-time graph and answer in full with your working;
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 10m/s for a time of 5s. It then decelerates to a halt in a time of 5 seconds. What is the deceleration?
A car is travelling at a constant speed of 5m/s for a time of 2s. It then decelerates to a halt in a time of 2 seconds. What is the deceleration?
A fighter jet is on a runway and then takes off. Air traffic control record Its velocity as 250 m/s and the time from take off as 10 seconds. What is the acceleration of the plane?
A basket ball has an acceleration of 10ms-2 when dropped from a window. The time of flight is 5 seconds. What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground (ignore air resistance)?
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

Velocity Time II
Cyclist accelerated from 0m/s to 8m/s in a time of 40s
8ms-1 /40m = 0.2ms-2
(8ms-1 x 40s) /2 = 160m
40ms-1 /20s = 2ms-2
(40ms-1 x20s)/2 = 400m
(400ms-1 x10s) = 400m
