  THINK-PAIR- SHARE "Where do yousee physics in your daily life? Think about home, school, transport, and entertainment.“ 🤔 Silent Reflection (2–3 min) 👥 Pair Discussion (4–5 min) 📢 Share with the Class Key Concepts: Motion • Electricity • Heat • Sound

  WHY PHYSICS MATTERS? • Physicsexplains how everyday things around us work — from boiling water to riding a bike. • Understanding physics helps us make smarter, safer choices in daily life. • Physics drives modern technology, making our lives more efficient and comfortable. • Curiosity about the world starts with asking "why" and "how" — that's physics! • Knowing physics empowers us to solve real-world problems with confidence.
• 5.
  WHAT IF PHYSICS DISAPPEARED? Imaginewaking up one day and physics suddenly stopped working. • Lights go off — no electricity • Cars stop — no motion or force • No cooking — no heat transfer • Buildings collapse — no structural support 🤔 Take 2 minutes to think silently: "What else would stop working?"
• 6.
  WHY STUDY PHYSICS? •Physics helps make life safer and more efficient by explaining how forces, motion, and energy work around us. • It drives modern technologies and innovations — from smartphones to medical devices. • Physics also helps us understand natural phenomena like gravity, light, and sound that shape our everyday experiences.

  EVERYDAY EXAMPLES Heat Transfer inCooking: When you use a stove or microwave, heat energy moves from the appliance to your food through conduction, convection, or radiation. Force & Motion – Bicycle: Pedaling applies force to move forward. Brakes use friction to slow down, showing Newton's Laws in action.

  GUIDED DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Analyze yourobservations from the video and experiment: 1 2 3 Which material protected the egg or ball best? Why? How does increasing impact time reduce the force experienced? How do helmets and airbags apply this physics principle?
• 15.
  CREATE A REAL-LIFE SCENARIO Inyour groups, act out how a safety device prevents injury: 🪖 Group 1: Biker falls wearing a helmet 🦵 Group 2: Person slips but protected by elbow/knee pads 🚗 Group 3: Car crash with airbag deployment 🤸 Group 4: Gymnast lands on a cushioned mat ️ 🕸️Group 5: Child hits safety net after trampoline jump
• 16.
  ROLE-PLAY GUIDE Each group mustinclude: • Brief description of incident & participants • Identify the safety device used • Explain how the device increases impact time • Show how this reduces force experienced • Apply: Momentum, Impulse, Energy Absorption & Newton's Laws
