Page 2 of 8 Assessment TASK: In this investigation you are sked to work in pairs or groups(up to four): 1. Conduct an online search to locate a simulation related to one of the topics covered in semester THREE: projectile motion, relative motion, circular motion, gravitation, planetary motion, or Kepler's laws. 2. Proceed with the scientific investigation/method according to the following steps: a. Formulate a question of inquiry that pertains to the chosen topic. b. Develop a hypothesis that can be tested based on the question formulated. c. Identify and define the variables associated with the hypothesis being tested. d. Design an experimental procedure outlining the steps to be followed in conducting the simulation. e. Execute the simulation experiment according to the designed procedure, ensuring accuracy and reliability of data collection. f. Record and analyze the data obtained from the simulation experiment. g. Draw conclusions based on the analyzed data, addressing whether the hypothesis was supported or rejected. h. Reflect on the experiment and its outcomes, considering potential sources of error, limitations, and areas for further investigation. Objectives In this lab, you should be able to: 1. To develop students' skills in experimental inquiry and scientific investigation. 2. To enhance students' understanding of physics concepts related to projectile motion, relative motion, circular motion, gravitation, planetary motion, and Kepler's laws. 3. To foster collaborative learning and teamwork among students as they work in groups to conduct experiments and analyze data. 4. To encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students formulate hypotheses, interpret results, and draw conclusions based on experimental data. 5. To promote reflection and metacognition as students assess their own learning and identify areas for further exploration and understanding. Introduction In this project, students in grade 9 will engage in experimental investigations using simulations sourced from internet research. These investigations will cover various topics related to physics, including projectile motion, relative motion, circular motion, gravitation, planetary motion, and Kepler's laws. Working in groups, students will have the opportunity to explore these concepts, identify variables, follow the scientific method, form hypotheses, conduct experiments, collect data, draw conclusions, and reflect on their findings. The goal of this project is to deepen students' understanding of physics principles through hands- on experimentation and simulation. Page 1 of 8
