Uniform circular Motion

Learning aims

• Learn to make a connection between theory and practice
• Empower the students through providing new technical knowledge and practical skills related to Mechanics
• Improve and consolidate science English vocabulary
• Learn to solve complex problems that are combination of two or more different topics (in our Schumacher’s problem we combine Circular motion (Kinematics) and Dynamics)

Learning objectives

• Apply Uniform Circular Motion in daily life by the solving Schumacher (F1 racer) problem after self-recorded video
• Distinguish two different terms like Period and Frequency by watching an interactive presentation from Bilimland.kz source (School Subjects – Physics – Upper Secondary – Kinematics – Circular motion)
• Differentiate tangential and angular speeds by watching an interactive presentation from Bilimland.kz source (School Subjects – Physics – Upper Secondary – Kinematics – Circular motion)
• Review difference of two different speeds (tangential and angular) by practising on interactive presentation from Bilimland.kz source (Physics course – Mechanics – Kinematics – Angular velocity. Angular acceleration)
• Identify suitable formulas to solve problems related to the topic, demonstrated by the ability to solve at least 2 or 3 workbook problems in a period of 10 minutes
• Translate specific physics terminology related to Circular motion by working with hand-outs and training vocabulary with teacher

Previous learning (background)

Students already know the Uniform Circular Motion and the main concepts of Dynamics from 9^th grade.
