PBL - Analyzing Human Motion

Day 1- In groups of 4, students will brainstorm on the difference between distance and displacement by drawing their route from house to school using scale, directions and landmarks. They will discuss other possible routes  that they can take in going to school (this will lead to differentiating distance and displacement). They have to discuss the possible means of transportation or actions that they can do to be in school on time (here the students will discuss qualitatively the differences in speeds of objects). On their way to school, they will predict the possible things that can speed up, slow down or change the direction of their motion (facilitating discussions on speed, velocity and understand the ways to show acceleration).

Day 2-  Video Making

Students  will make  a 5- min video showing different clips of them doing different kinds of motion. They should be able to show clips of  speeding up, slowing down and change in direction . Quantitative descriptions  and graphical representations are required. They have to present their work to class through google slides, PowerPoint, or YouTube posts.
