Course Details
This module provides a comprehensive understanding of motion, forces, and Newton’s laws. Practical demonstrations are used to strengthen theoretical concepts, providing students with hands-on experience and reinforcing their learning. This module is divided into three units. The first unit starts with revising basic concepts such as measurement of speed and velocity, the second unit is dedicated to building graphical understanding of motion and the the third unit focuses on Newton’s laws of motion and its manifestation in real life phenomena.
This module was designed as part of The Connected Learning for STEM Project. It aims to build capacities of secondary school teachers in Science and Mathematics to foster higher-order thinking with inclusion and equity. CL4STEM is a South-South collaboration among higher educational institutions to adapt and pilot the CLIx model of TPD developed and implemented in India, in Tanzania, Nigeria, and Bhutan.
CL4STEM modules for teacher professional development are Open Educational Resources and involve teachers in short courses and online communities of practice to enrich classroom practice with Pedagogical Content Knowledge, and understanding of Inclusion.
