This stage allows students to engage in practical situations where they can implement impulse and momentum concepts in two-dimensional collisions. By utilizing digital simulations and multimedia tools, students will be challenged to solve real-world scenarios, which fosters deeper engagement and understanding of the subject matter.

Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - 🏒 Investigating Collisions in Digital Hockey Games

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Apply the concepts of impulse, momentum, and the coefficient of restitution in a fun and relevant context using a hockey game simulator.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students will form groups and utilize an online hockey game simulator to explore two-dimensional collisions. They will observe player movements and the impact of the puck during various collisions in the game.

- Instructions:

  • Organize the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group will access an online hockey game simulator (e.g., Physics Simulation Hockey Game).

  • Students will watch and document different types of collisions that occur in the game.

  • Leverage screen recording tools to capture the collisions, then analyze them using user-friendly video editing software like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker.

  • Groups will compute momentum and impulse in at least three different collisions, employing physics concepts they've already learned.

  • Each group will present their analyses and findings to the class.

Activity 2 - 🚗 Simulating Traffic Accidents with Digital Models

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Grasp how momentum and impulse concepts apply to traffic accidents, using digital simulations to recreate and analyze collisions.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will engage with an online vehicle collision simulator to recreate and analyze traffic accidents in two dimensions. Working in groups, they'll explore the causes of the collisions and calculate the forces involved.

- Instructions:

  • Create groups of up to 5 students and have them access a vehicle collision simulator, such as PhET Interactive Simulations or Algodoo.

  • Each group should select a collision scenario to recreate, paying attention to details like initial speeds, vehicle masses, and impact angles.

  • Simulate the accident and use the software tools to gather data about the collision.

  • From the data collected, students will calculate the momentum and impulse for each vehicle involved, as well as analyze the coefficient of restitution.

  • Groups will generate a multimedia report (using tools like Google Slides or Prezi) to present their results and insights to the class.

Activity 3 - ⚽ Analyzing Collisions in Soccer Plays

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Goal: Apply impulse, momentum, and the coefficient of restitution concepts in a sports context through videos and analysis software focused on soccer collisions.

- Deskripsi Activity: In this activity, students will analyze collision scenarios between players and the ball using videos from soccer matches. They'll collaborate in groups to examine the forces at play and discuss strategies to enhance player performance.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Provide links to video clips of soccer matches where significant collisions happen (e.g., YouTube or sports streaming platforms).

  • Each group will select three particular plays for analysis.

  • Using video analysis software like Kinovea or Tracker, students should import the videos and mark the movements of both the players and the ball.

  • Calculate the momentum and impulse in each collision, exploring the coefficient of restitution.

  • Groups will create a narrated video summarizing their analyses, which can be shared on a private YouTube group or Google Classroom.

  • Students will view their peers' videos and engage in a discussion during a Q&A session.

Feedback

Duration: (20 - 25 minutes)

This stage aims to reinforce learning through reflection and feedback. The group discussion allows students to share perspectives, challenges, and conclusions, fostering a deeper grasp of the concepts. Additionally, 360° feedback promotes the development of interpersonal and teamwork skills that are crucial for student growth both academically and personally.

Group Discussion

🗣️ Group Discussion: Facilitate an open discussion where each group shares their experiences, analyses, and conclusions from the activity. To guide this, follow this outline:

  1. Introduction: Ask each group to briefly outline the activity they conducted (hockey, traffic accidents, or soccer).
  2. Results: Request them to share their calculations and analyses, emphasizing how they applied momentum, impulse, and the coefficient of restitution.
  3. Reflections: Encourage groups to discuss any challenges they faced during the activity and how they managed to overcome them.
  4. Real-World Applications: Wrap up by asking students to relate what they learned to real-life experiences or news stories they've encountered.

Reflections

1. ❓ What were the major challenges faced when applying physics concepts during the activity? How did you work through these issues? 2. ❓ How would you use momentum and impulse concepts in a scenario outside of the classroom, like in sports or on the road? 3. ❓ What shifted in your understanding of two-dimensional collisions after participating in this practical activity?

Feedback 360º

🔄 360° Feedback: Encourage students to carry out a 360° feedback session, where each student receives constructive feedback from their peers. To assist them, suggest considering the following points when giving feedback:

  • Contribution: In what ways did the peer contribute to the group work?
  • Communication: Was communication effective and clear?
  • Collaboration: Did the peer collaborate well within the team, offering help and showing respect for others?
  • Suggestions: What areas could the peer improve for future group activities?

Remind students to focus on respect and constructiveness in their feedback, concentrating on observable behaviours rather than personal critiques.

Conclusion

Duration: (10 - 15 minutes)

🎯 Purpose: This concluding component of the lesson plan aims to consolidate learning while connecting the studied concepts to real-world contexts and emphasizing the practical relevance of the knowledge gained. It’s an opportunity to reflect on how physics principles can be applied concretely and reaffirm the significance of a hands-on and contextualized learning approach.
