The lesson plan is for a 60 minute physics class on force and motion for 44 students. The learning objectives are to define acceleration and deceleration, calculate speed, velocity, acceleration and deceleration, and solve problems using kinematic equations. Prior knowledge includes concepts taught previously like distance, speed, and velocity. The lesson will use PowerPoint, worksheets, and involve students observing animations and answering questions to restructure their understanding of acceleration/deceleration and related concepts. Students will work in groups to apply ideas by solving sample problems, and there will be a pop quiz and homework assigned.

1. LESSON PLAN
Subject : Physics
Topic : Force and Motion
Subtopic : Acceleration and Deceleration
Form : 4B
Date : 16 February 2009
Time : 1.20 pm – 2.20 pm
Duration : 60 minutes
Number of students : 44 students
Learning outcome : At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
i. Define acceleration and deceleration and state that
a=v–u.
t
ii. Calculate speed and velocity.
iii. Calculate acceleration and deceleration.
iv. Solve problems on linear motion with uniform acceleration
using
• v = u + at.
• s = ut + ½ at2.
• v2 = u2 + 2as.
Prior knowledge : In form 2, students already learnt the basics of force and motion
on land. They also learn about speed in learning area of dynamic.
Learning material : Microsoft Power Point, exercise handouts, marker pen, white
board.
Attitudes and values : Thinking rationally, being cooperative, being confident and
independent, hardworking, and thinking skills and high self-
esteem.
Scientific skills : Observing, defining operationally, measuring and using numbers,
inferring, relating and communicating.
