Assessment Strategies Skills and Values ICT Integration Adaptation
Introduction What is the
difference between
the object at rest
and the object in
motion?
The children will
be divided into 9 or
10 groups each of
four students to
name, the objects
at rest and in
motion in Four
categories of
situations
related to:
a) Sports and
sports field
b) While working
in Kitchen
c) While riding a
Transport
vehicle.
d) Stories of
motions in the
heavens as
read from
Newspaper or
books.

Group members will be
encouraged to share
their experiences of
objects at rest and in
motion, in the situation
allotted to each group.
They will also write why
they think a particular
object is at rest and
another object is in
motion. They will
assess their own
answers and also the
answers of others.

category.
Teacher will
encourage shy
children and
control

children and
help each
student to
arrive at the
common
conclusion that
the objects at
rest do not
change their
position with
respect to us;
and the objects
in motion
change their

(Alternatively, all
children of each
category can be
shown a video
recording of the
situation as
described above.)
To begin with the
children will list the
objects which are
at rest and which
are in motion.
position or the
position of
parts of the
object change
their position
with respect to
us.
Types of
movement
What is the
difference in motion
of a falling object ,
motion of the
second hand of a
wall clock and a
swinging pendulum?
Children will
continue group
work and describe
in writing the
motion of different
objects in the
situation.
Specifically they
will write whether
the object is
moving in straight
line in a circle or
moving to and fro.
Children will assess
each others writings,
as to why they are
calling some motion in
straight line and other
in a circle and still other
as to and fro.
Same as above.
Also student may
point out that
there are some
motions where
both straight line
and rotational
motions are seen
to coexist.
Forum Comparison of
works of
different
groups.
Teacher will
ensure uniform
concept
formation in all
children as far
as possible.
Rectilinear
motion or
Motion in a
straight line.

Rotational
motion

What are examples
of rectilinear motion,
similar to that of a
falling object

What are examples
of
Rotational motion
The children will
now be regrouped
into groups with
again 4 children in
each so that every
group contains one
from each category
of sports field
Teacher will call the
motion of a falling
object as motion in
straight line. He will ask
the child in each
group randomly to give
example from their
identified situation
Same as above Forum Same as above.
Children may be
encouraged to
write about the
motion of
objects, such as
rockets, space
vehicles and

similar to that of the
hands of clock



What are examples
of
to and fro motion or
vibrational motion
similar to that of a
swing
kitchen at work,
transport system
and stories about
heavenly objects.
Children may also
be encouraged to
find out time in
which they
complete one
rotation or
vibration. Teacher
will explain that in
case of rotation or
vibration the
motion is repetitive
If it is same then
such repetitive
motion is called
periodic motion.
which is similar to this.

He will repeat this
activity for a motion like
that of a hands of a wall
clock, or that of a
swinging pendulum.

the different types are
mixed .

the moons
surface, which
they have read
about in stories
and
Newspapers . If
videos are
available, they
may be hyper-
linked here for
describing
different types
of motion
Mixed motion What are the
examples of mixed
motions
Teacher will
explain: when a
bicycle runs on a
straight road. It
moves as a whole
in straight line. But
the wheels and
spokes and pedals
have both
translator and
rotational motion.
Children will describe
similar motions in each
of their group. For
example, When you
make chapatees with a
belan, the belan
undergoes a rolling
motion, which is
combination of
translation and rotation.
Same as above The motion of a
wings of a
helicopter or a
dragon fly is a
mixture of
rotation and
transport in a
curved path in
three
dimension. It is
possible that
the children are
too much
excited with the
4

examples of
motion seen in
a video or u-
tube software
and not care for
the experience
with a live
thing.
Discussion
between such
students about
the aspects of
such motion can
be beneficial to
both.

Units of
Measurement
When you go from
one city to another
in what units you
measure the
distance?
Teacher will make
the students aware
that the odometers
of the vehicles
show the distance
travelled in km.
Long distances are
measured in kilo
meters
Children will search the
appropriate site to find
out the conversion of
different units like
centimetre (cm),
meter(m), kilo
