Lesson that has differentiated tasks for pupils to complete, in groups (enough questions for 4 groups to have different questions of increasing difficulty). Pupils then present their answer and class critique it.
Kinematics is the branch of physics that studies motion of objects without considering the forces causing it.
Linear Motion
It describes motion in a straight line using three main quantities:
Displacement (s) – distance in a specific direction
Velocity (v) – rate of change of displacement
Time (t)
For constant velocity:
Motion is uniform (same speed and direction)
Displacement is proportional to time:
s = ut
Graphs:
Displacement–time → straight line
Velocity–time → horizontal line
Motion with Constant Acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Main equations (SUVAT):
v = u + at
s = ut + ½at²
v² = u² + 2as
Used when speed changes (speeding up or slowing down).
Graphs in Motion
Velocity–time graph → area = displacement
Slope of graph → gives velocity or acceleration
Helps analyze motion visually (shown clearly in diagrams on pages 2–3)
Vertical Motion (Gravity)
Objects move under gravity with acceleration g ≈ 10 m/s²
Cases:
Falling (downward acceleration)
Thrown upward (slows → stops → falls back)
Multi-stage Motion
Motion can include:
Acceleration
Constant speed
Deceleration
(Explained with combined graphs on page 7)
Calculus in Motion
Velocity = rate of change of displacement
Acceleration = rate of change of velocity
Integration is used to find displacement from velocity
In One Line
Kinematics explains how objects move using equations, graphs, and relationships between displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
A real-life link lesson introducing the SUVAT equations, meanings of letters, learning to select the correct equation for the question, and rearranging to solve. Uses popular car data to see relevant applications in real-life. Includes a starter on Speed = Distance / Time, diagnostic questions using RAG&White, examples and practice, then Nando's themed differentiated questions (with answers) and a literacy plenary to write to their future selves what mistakes to avoid and to explain in their own words - "metacognition" or something!
Please let me know what you think :)
This well thought out booklet has been structured to increase in difficulty gradually, beginning with scaffolded intro examples and building up to challenging extension questions that really get them thinking.
Under the hood
Worded questions where students must use the kinematics formulas starting with v = u + at in the first few examples to build confidence.
Progression onto the displacement equations
Rearranging the kinematics formulas
Thorough, comprehensive, and carefully designed to boost confidence and grades.
