Kyle Canning EDU5170 Lesson Plan: Lesson one for projectile motion unit. Standards: A. CCM1.

1 Students will use algebraic and geometric representations to describe and compare data. CCM3.1 Students will apply algebraic and geometric concepts and skills to the solution of problems. CCM6.1 Students will Determine optimal solutions to problems that can be solved using quantitative methods.

B. ISTE3a Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. ISTE4B Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.

Objectives: A. Students will be able to recognize and recall the two dimensional kinematic equations. (knowledge) Students will be able to identify the proper equations given a set of problems. (comprehension)

B. Students will be able to demonstrate the concepts of projectile motion through the game angry birds and through the simulator. Students will practice projectile motion equations using simulators.

Activity: A. Today the teacher will be introducing the students to the concepts involved in projectile motion. The projectile motion unit should take roughly 4 class periods to complete. Following this there will be an authentic assessment. The teacher will be utilizing the white board to introduce the unit. B. The motivator for this lesson will be angry birds. Angry birds is a popular game that the students talk about constantly. Now many of the students just play the game for recreation. Most of them do not know that while playing angry birds they are actually using the concepts of projectile motion. Provide Information: The teacher will start the class by utilizing the white board to explain the concept involved in todays class. This first introduction will include formulas and proper usages of them. All aspects of the equations such as variables and their meanings will be discussed. The teacher will then have the students log in to computers and navigate to his website. From the resources page the students will click on the angry birds link. The students will spend the next five minutes of class playing angry birds. The teacher will then explain the connection between angry birds and projectile motion. The teacher will take an example from angry birds and demonstrate it on the board for the students. This example will also be on a handout that will be provided to the students. From here the teacher will instruct the students to click on the second link under lesson links on his resource page. This page involves a projectile motion simulator. The teacher will explain the activity that will go along with this link. After the students have started the activity the teacher will handout a sheet with all the important equations outlined on it. When the students are finished with the activity the teacher will assign homework.

Provide Practice: A. Students will complete the angry birds projectile motion worksheet. Homework will also be provided for the students to practice the concepts that were learned in class. B. Students will use angry birds to visualize the concepts involved in projectile motion. This will reinforce the basic ideas involved in the content. Students will practice the equations learned while completing the projectile motion simulator activity.

Provide Knowledge of Results: A. The students will be completing the angry birds example together with the teacher. The teacher will be asking students to provide input in the process. The teacher will provide feedback to students. The teacher will be walking around to monitor students progress during the simulator activity. The teacher will be providing feedback to students along the way.

B. The teacher will provide written feedback on the homework assignment that was given to the students. The students will complete the homework and hand it in for grading. The teacher will then review the work providing written feedback as needed.

Review of Activity: A. The teacher will ask students to recall important points and equations that they used form the lesson while completing the simulator activity. The teacher will point out the importance of this material. (military ballistics)

The teacher will remind the students not to lose any of the information from this class. These materials will be excellent review guides for the unit test that will follow.

Methods of Assessment: A. The teacher will walk around and visually assess the students comprehension of the material that has been introduced to them. If the students are struggling the teacher will make note of this. The activity will be placed in the grade book as a check for students that are struggling and a check plus for students that have mastery of the content.

B. The teacher will collect the homework in the following class period. This homework will be reviewed and graded. The problems are worth three points each. There are 7 questions. The points correct will be divided by 21, and the grade will be recorded.
