3P
- 3P.1
  - Lesson 01 - What is speed? Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - W: Speed is how far an object travels in a bit of time.
      
      To travel fast is to cover more distance in the same time, or the same distance in less time. - KS3.P.12
    - T: The average speed for a journey is the distance traveled ÷ total time. - KS3.P.12
      - Suggested Activity:
        Class practical:
        Measure the speed of students doing different activities: walking/running/scootering/cycling (outside or pre book hall or sports hall)
        Equipment Required:
        Long measuring tapes
        trundle wheel
        timers
        giant chalk
    - W: This is the average speed as you may have changed speed during the journey. - KS3.P.12
    - T: The speed and any one moment in time is called the instantaneous speed. - KS3.P.12
    - A: Which make for safer roads: GATSO or SPECS speed cameras?
      
      http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/gatso.htm
      
      http://www.speedcamerasuk.com/specs.htm - KS3.P.12
    - speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time) - KS3.P.12
    - T: The SI unit for distance is metres (m).
      The SI unit for time is seconds (s). - KS3.P.12
    - W: The SI unit for speed is metres per second (m/s). - KS3.P.12
    - A: Calculate the average speed of some objects.
      
      G5: rearrange equations - KS3.P.12
- 3P.2
  - Lesson 02 - Planning: Height of the ramp vs average speed of the car. Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - A: PLANNING:
      
      - Aim: The height of the ramp affects the average speed of the car.
      - Hypothesis: That as the height of the ramp is increased the average speed of the car will increase. - KS3.P.12
  - Lesson 03 - Data Collection: Height of the ramp vs average speed of the car. Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - A: DATA COLLECTION:
      
      - Aim: The height of the ramp affects the average speed of the car.
      - Hypothesis: That as the height of the ramp is increased the average speed of the car will increase. - KS3.P.12
  - Lesson 04 - Analysis: Height of the ramp vs average speed of the car. Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - A: ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION:
      
      - Aim: The height of the ramp affects the average speed of the car.
      - Hypothesis: That as the height of the ramp is increased the average speed of the car will increase. - KS3.P.12
- 3P.3
  - Lesson 05 - How do we represent motion? Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - T: A journey can be represented on a distance-time graph.
      
      Time is the independent variable as it is always changing, all be it not under our control. - KS3.P.13
    - W: On a distance-time graph:
      - A rising straight line from left to right indicates a steady increase in distance, ie a constant speed.
      
      - A 'horizontal' line from left to right indicates no change in distance and therefore the object is stationary. - KS3.P.13
      - Suggested Activity:
        Modelling distance time graphs, use a timer to time expired:
        step/jump forward for away from home.
        Stand still for stationary.
        step/jump back for returning to home.
        Equipment Required:
        stopclocks
    - D: Students draw a distance time graph and analysis it eg:

  - Lesson 06 - What do we mean by relative motion? Lesson Plan Lesson Title
    - W: What is the difference in speed between a car travelling a 30 m/s and a lorry travelling at 20 m/s? => 10 m/s
      
      How did you work this out? => 30 take away 20
      
      This is the relative motion between the car and the lorry. - KS3.P.14
    - T: The relative motion is the 'motion' (movement) of one object measured 'relative' (from) another. - KS3.P.14
    - T: How much further does the car get away from the lorry in one second? => 10 m/s
      
      What if the car starts behind the lorry? => The car would get closer, maybe collided at 10 m/s. - KS3.P.14
    - W: At what speed would they collide at if they were travelling towards each other? => 50 m/s
      
      How did you work this out? => 30 plus 20 - KS3.P.14
    - T: Velocity is speed in a direction.
      
      A negative velocity is in the opposite direction to a positive one. - KS3.P.14
    - W: If the lorry is travelling at 20 m/s and a car at -30 m/s what speed do they collide at? => 50 m/s
      
      How did you work this out? => 20 take away minus 30 - KS3.P.14
    - A: Answer question on relative motion eg: trains and cars passing one another - KS3.P.14

    - The force due to gravity is called weight. - KS3.P.59
      - Suggested Activity:
        compare mass and weight on different planets
        Equipment Required:
        human scales (kg) class set
    - Gravity is an attraction between objects of mass. - KS3.P.59
    - The weight of an object will increase if the mass of the object is increased. - KS3.P.59
    - The weight of an object will increase if the gravitational pull on the object is increased. - KS3.P.59
    - The gravitational pull is measured as gravitational field strength. - KS3.P.59
    - Weight = mass x gravitational field strength (g). - KS3.P.59
    - gravity produces a non-contact force - KS3.P.59
    - gravity forces between Earth and Moon, and between Earth and sun (qualitative only) - KS3.P.59

    - our sun as a star, other stars in our galaxy, other galaxies - KS3.P.60
