Grade 10 2P Science Motion Outlines

February 2008

Topics in Motion to be Covered

You must have a calculator, ruler (30 cm clear prefered) and a protractor.

  1. What can be measured: quantities and units.
  2. Metric system and using the calculator to solve arithmetic problems with the correct order of operation.
  3. Plotting graphs given raw measured data, determining the slope of a line and being able to interpolate or exprapolate information from a graph.
  4. Measuring distance, time, and speed. Putting them together in an equation and graphically. Working with and determining slopes.
  5. Working with formula in problem solving; problem analysis a must!
  6. Average speed and motion experiments,:the bulldozed and the ramp.
  7. Data collected and analysed via graphs and then used to answer questions.
  8. Working with motion equations: time, distance, velocity, and acceleration.
  9. Vector quantities; Lego Town.
  10. Vector problems solved with ruler and protractor. Both in one and two dimensions.
  11. Introduction to displacement, velocity and aceleration as vector quantities.
  12. Position-Time graphs. How to read and interput. What does the slope mean.
  13. Velocity-Time graphs. What does the slope mean and area under the line.
