Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - Digital Influencers in Action!

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Encourage students to explain physics concepts in a practical and engaging way, leveraging social media as a means of knowledge sharing.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will step into the shoes of science influencers on Instagram. They'll create a series of stories that explain how vector decomposition plays a role in a real-world situation, like an athlete's jump during a major competition. They'll incorporate videos, GIFs, and graphics to make their explanations dynamic and visually engaging.

- Instructions:

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

• Each group should select a coordinator who will manage posting the content.

• Students need to research a relevant practical situation that involves vector decomposition (e.g., an athlete's jump).

• Use free video and image editing software to create the series of stories.

• The stories must include a concise explanation of vectors, how to decompose them into perpendicular components, and their chosen practical application.

• Encourage the use of various multimedia resources (videos, GIFs, graphics).

• Each group will present their work at the end of the activity, simulating a live Instagram post.

Activity 2 - Virtual Escape Room: The Vector Mission

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Make learning about vector decomposition fun and interactive, while promoting teamwork and critical thinking.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will engage in a virtual escape room challenge, where they must solve puzzles related to vector decomposition to progress through the stages and 'escape' the room. They'll use an online platform designed for managing escape rooms.

- Instructions:

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

• Each group will access the escape room via the online platform.

• The puzzles and challenges will focus on breaking vectors down into perpendicular components and will involve basic trigonometry.

• Students need to work together to solve each puzzle and advance through the levels of the game.

• Monitor the groups' progress via the platform and offer hints if needed.

• At the end, hold a discussion about the solutions discovered and reinforce the key concepts learned.

Activity 3 - TikTok Challenge: Vectors in Motion

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Encourage student creativity and engagement through the creation of educational content for social media while strengthening their understanding of vector decomposition.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will create short TikTok videos that explain vector decomposition through entertaining and practical challenges. They are encouraged to be creative in presenting the concept clearly and engagingly, even using dances, common household objects, or humorous scenarios.

- Instructions:

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

• Each group should brainstorm creative ways to explain vector decomposition in a brief video.

• Use phones to record and edit the videos.

• Incorporate visual components, like arrows drawn on the ground or objects that symbolize vectors.

• Videos need to be short, clear, and educational, with a maximum duration of 1 minute.

• Upload the videos to TikTok (or simulate posting) and present to the class.

• Conclude by voting for the most creative and effective video in terms of explanation.

Feedback

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

This stage offers a moment for reflection and experience exchange among students, contributing to consolidating learning and fostering collaborative knowledge construction. Furthermore, the 360° feedback approach allows each student to receive constructive evaluations from peers, which promotes personal growth and ongoing improvement.

Group Discussion

Facilitate a group discussion where students can share their experiences from the activities undertaken. Use this script to kick off the discussion:

Start by asking each group about their experiences in creating digital content related to vectors. Encourage each group to share their learnings and highlight something they found particularly interesting or challenging. Invite students to comment on how different approaches among groups contributed to their understanding of the topic. Wrap up by asking students to relate the activities to real-life applications of vector decomposition.

Reflections

1. What challenges did you face when explaining vector decomposition in your digital activities? 2. How did using social media and technology enhance your understanding of vector decomposition? 3. Can you identify everyday scenarios where vector decomposition is applicable?

Feedback 360º

Facilitate a 360° feedback session where every student must receive feedback from their peers. Guide students to provide constructive and respectful feedback using this outline:

Start by sharing a positive note about each colleague's contribution. Then, mention one area that could be improved or offer suggestions for future activities. Conclude the feedback by expressing encouragement or recognition for the hard work and collaboration of the colleague.

Conclusion

Duration: 10 to 15 minutes

🎯 Purpose: The goal of this stage is to summarize the key points of the lesson in an engaging and enjoyable manner, allowing students to reinforce their learning.
