Exploring Motion with Hot Wheeling Physics

Engage students in a hands-on physics activity to investigate motion using toy cars, timers, and measurements. Students will learn about speed, distance, and time while conducting races and recording data. Encourage collaboration and critical thinking as they analyze motion from different perspectives and discuss the concept of reference points. This interactive and educational activity helps students understand the fundamental principles of motion in a fun and engaging way.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Motion Part I

  2. Brainstorming Warm-up:(Write the question) – Left side • List 3 items/objects in the room. • Now, brainstorm with your group members and ponder the following question: From your perspective, are any of the objects you listed moving? • Write the question and your answers on the left side page of your interactive notebook for title/#2. • Make sure you update your table of contents.

  3. From the girls perspective, why did the person on the platform seem to be moving?

  4. What is a reference point?

  5. Why is it important?

  6. What is motion?

  7. Hot Wheeling Physics Materials needed: Meter stick Masking tape Toy car Timer Worksheet/Pencil Ruler

  8. Procedures: Assign team jobs! • Materials handler • Racer/Tape remover • Recorder • Timer • * Each person is responsible for filling out their worksheet after the trials are completed.

  9. Hot Wheels Physics Procedures • Measure a racetrack (1.5 meters) in length • At start line, place a strip of tape on the floor and label it A • Divide the track into 5 sections. (Mark the next section B, C, D, and then E). • Hint! Each section should be 30 cmsin length. • At the end of 150 cms, mark the finish line with tape.

  10. Now, race! Speed=distance/time • Race your cars from point A to point B, then point B to point C, and so on…. • Don’t forget to record the times from point to point. • Go through all the trails. • When your group is finished, clean up, put supplies back, go back to your seat and finish the worksheet.
