Skills Workshop on Middleschool Kinematics

What Will You Learn?

• Understanding Basic Concepts: Ensure students understand fundamental concepts such as position, displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
• Applying Mathematical Formulas: Teach students to apply mathematical formulas to solve problems involving motion, such as the equations of motion for constant acceleration.
• Graphical Analysis: Help students interpret and analyze graphs representing motion, such as position-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.
• Understanding Vector Notation: Introduce vector notation and teach students how to represent displacement, velocity, and acceleration vectors.
• Differentiation Between Scalars and Vectors: Ensure students understand the difference between scalar quantities (such as speed) and vector quantities (such as velocity), and their respective units.
• Projectile Motion: Teach students about projectile motion, including how to analyze the motion of objects moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity.
• Collaborative Learning: Foster collaborative learning environments where students can work together to solve problems, discuss concepts, and learn from each other's perspectives.
