Knowledge and Skills Statement

Science concepts. The student knows the relationship between force and motion in everyday life.

Students are taught to manipulate equations in Algebra I, SE 12.E: solve mathematic and scientific formulas, and other literal equations, for a specified variable.  Depending on their proficiency in math, students may need additional support, such as examples and modeling, to be successful at manipulating equations.

a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that is a measurement of the change in motion of an object (speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction); the result of an unbalanced force; calculated as the rate of change in the velocity over time or by dividing the force applied by the mass of the object

a push or pull between two objects

an act, process, or instance of changing position or location

the point or area occupied by a physical object; typically a number on an axis

a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that is the directional speed of an object in motion; indicates the rate of change in position of the object measured from a particular frame of reference in a particular standard of time

Research

Admoko, Setyo. "Could Physics Teachers Also Have Misconceptions on Basic Kinematics," Journal of Physics: Conference Series 2623, no.1 (2023): 012025. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/2623/1/012025.

Summary:  This study aims to determine the profile of physics teachers’ understanding of concepts on kinematics material detected by a four-tier misconception test. The findings of several misconceptions show that even a physics teacher cannot escape misconceptions. Therefore, a teacher must be able to remedy the misconceptions he suffers so that these misconceptions are not transmitted to the students he teaches.

Summary:  This research aims to describe the use of car toys with Videos (TwV) in introducing Kinematics. This research specifically also provides information on the advantages and disadvantages of using TwV in learning Physics.
