Introduction What is the difference between the object at rest and the object in motion?

The children will be divided into 9 or 10 groups each of four students to name, the objects at rest and in motion in Four categories of situationsrelated to:a) Sports and

sports fieldb) While working

in Kitchenc) While riding a

Transport vehicle.

d) Stories of motions in the heavens as read from Newspaper or books.

Group members will be encouraged to share their experiences of objects at rest and in motion, in the situation allotted to each group. They will also write why they think a particular object is at rest and another object is in motion. They will assess their own answers and also the answers of others.

Sharing of Ideas with each other. Power of expression in words and in writing reason for their conclusion.Learning to correct one another. Helping others to learn.

Forum Comparison of works of different groups in the same category. Teacher will encourage shy children and control dominating children and help each student to arrive at the common conclusion that the objects at rest do not change their position with respect to us; and the objects in motion change their

(Alternatively, all children of each category can be shown a video recording of the situation as described above.)To begin with the children will list the objects which are at rest and which are in motion.

position or the position of parts of the object change their position with respect to us.

Types of movement

What is the difference in motion of a falling object , motion of the second hand of a wall clock and a swinging pendulum?

Children will continue group work and describe in writing the motion of different objects in the situation.Specifically they will write whether the object is moving in straight line in a circle or moving to and fro.

Children will assess each other’s writings, as to why they are calling some motion in straight line and other in a circle and still other as to and fro.

Same as above. Also student may point out that there are some motions where both straight line and rotational motions are seen to coexist.

Forum Comparison of works of different groups. Teacher will ensure uniform concept formation in all children as far as possible.

Rectilinear motion or Motion in a straight line.

Rotational motion

What are examples of rectilinear motion, similar to that of a falling object

What are examples ofRotational motion

The children will now be regrouped into groups with again 4 children in each so that every group contains one from each category of sports field

Teacher will call the motion of a falling object as motion in straight line. He will ask the child in eachgroup randomly to give example from their identified situation

Same as above Forum Same as above. Children may be encouraged to write about the motion of objects, such as rockets, space vehicles and

similar to that of the hands of clock

What are examples ofto and fro motion or vibrational motion similar to that of a swing

kitchen at work, transport system and stories about heavenly objects. Children may also be encouraged to find out time in which they complete one rotation or vibration. Teacher will explain that in case of rotation or vibration the motion is repetitive If it is same then such repetitive motion is called periodic motion.

which is similar to this.

He will repeat this activity for a motion like that of a hands of a wall clock, or that of a swinging pendulum.

Give examples , where the different types are mixed .

and the vehicle which ran on the moon’s surface, which they have read about in stories and Newspapers . If videos are available, they may be hyper-linked here for describing different types of motion

Mixed motion What are the examples of mixed motions

Teacher will explain: when a bicycle runs on a straight road. It moves as a whole in straight line. But the wheels and spokes and pedals have both translator and rotational motion.

Children will describe similar motions in each of their group. For example, When you make chapatees with a belan, the belan undergoes a rolling motion, which is combination of translation and rotation.

Same as above The motion of a wings of a helicopter or a dragon fly is a mixture of rotation and transport in a curved path in three dimension. It is possible that the children are too much excited with the

examples of motion seen in a video or u-tube software and not care for the experience with a live thing. Discussion between such students about the aspects of such motion can be beneficial to both.

More about motion and conclusion

1. Describe the motion of any land mark on earth with respect to the Sun.

2. Describe the motion of craters of the moon with respect to the Earth.

3. Describe the motion of

Children will individually write the answer of the question in their notebook

Same as above

Same as above

They will read one another’s answer . Teacher will help in improvement of their answers

Same as above

They will be shown a video, which demonstrates the correct method of using the scale or the tape

Measurement skill can be practiced by finding the dimensions, length, breadth and height of the objects that each student chooses .

4. Describe the motion of a discus in discus –throw athletic event.

5. Find out whether the rotational motion of second hand minute hand and hour hand or to and fro motion of a pendulum of a given length is periodic or not.

Same as above

Student can use their wrist watch which may be digital or dial type or use their mobiles to find the time for one rotation or vibration.

Same as above

Same as above

Children will learn from one another and teacher will supervise.

6. Let the three students become Sun earth and moon and enact the motion oftheir own role.

7. After the fan is switched off, find out what is the time taken for one rotation from the instant you can easily count the time by timing device available with you. Repeat this activity till fan stops

Children will enact the role in a group of three

Children will compare their results and describe their results and answer the question is the motion of the fan repetitive? Is the motion periodic?

Teacher will help and correct the role of the children. And also encourage children to think of similar related ideas for enacting.

Teacher will coordinate the discussions and ask students to suggest similar experiments or explorations.

Measurement of distances and dimensions of objects.

When an object moves, we know that it moves some distance in a given time. How to

result. If not let them find out why

Units of Measurement

When you go from one city to another in what units you measure the distance?

Teacher will make the students aware that the odometers of the vehicles show the distance travelled in km. Long distances are measured in kilo meters

Children will search the appropriate site to find out the conversion of different units like centimetre (cm), meter(m), kilo meter(km)

Develop the skill of browsing to have an idea of distance of the diameter of earth and distance of earth from the moon etc.

Normally heights are measured in feet and inches. 1 foot = 12 inches and1 inch = 2.54 cm
