Description

Describing Motion: Kinematics in One and Two Dimensions is Unit 1 of Algebra-Based Physics: Modeling Matter, Motion, and Energy (Grade 11), the Letters & Devotion Science course, complete in one printable PDF: 10 lessons, the unit check-up and the answer key, 79 pages.

• Relative motion and reference frames
• Scalar vs. vector quantities
• The relationship between slope of a position-time graph and velocity
• The correspondence between position-time and velocity-time graph features
• Average vs. instantaneous velocity
• Constant-acceleration kinematics equations
• Selection among constant-acceleration kinematics equations based on known/unknown quantities
• Independence of horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion
• Physical plausibility of graphed motion
• Prediction of future motion from experimentally derived velocity-time data

Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: it opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet you may copy for your household. Scripture references are King James Version throughout. Black-and-white, 8.5 x 11 in. The whole year of this course is also in this store as a single book.
