Thinking about actions to take: Measures of Quantity of Motion
Teaching Guidance for 14-16
There's a good chance you could improve your teaching if you were to:
Try these
- keep vectors and scalars separate
- emphasise common patterns
- allow the ideas to gain meaning by using them
Teacher Tip: Work through the Physics Narrative to find these lines of thinking worked out and then look in the Teaching Approaches for some examples of activities.
Avoid these
- defining quantities rather than putting them to use
Teacher Tip: These difficulties are distilled from: the research findings; the practice of well-connected teachers with expertise; issues intrinsic to representing the physics well.
