The technology used will consist of students watching youtube clips to enhance the concepts of Motion. There are several Motion clips on youtube that are very informative and show the concepts of Position versus Time and Speed versus Time graphs. As an extra credit project students will create their own video demonstrating Motion concepts and will post the video to a class website.
The reason to use technology for the Motion unit is to allow students to visualize and experience the concepts first hand, rather than statically. It is not always feasible to have lessons outside, so watching videos or creating them as homework assignments can allow students to further explore scientific concepts in their everyday lives.
the video will be great because students will be watching and they will connect the abstract image in their mind with the images in the video. A great aha moment
