SHS1 Physics · Semester 1 Week 8: Kinematics

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.1.3.LI.1 - Describe the various types of motion i.e., circular, oscillatory, rectilinear, spin, and random.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Define motion and identify at least three everyday situations in which motion occurs.
Describe each of the five types of motion (circular, oscillatory, rectilinear, spin, and random) in their own words.
Classify given examples of moving objects into the correct type of motion, giving a reason for each classification.
Distinguish between two or more types of motion by comparing their paths and patterns.
Observe and report at least one example of each type of motion from their immediate environment.
