ICSE Class 7 Physics, Unit 2: Force and Pressure: Motion
From the CISCE curriculum. 7 key concepts, about 3 days of study at 20 to 30 minutes a day.
What this unit aims at
An object is said to be in motion if its position changes with time. When walking, running or cycling or when a bird is flying, there is motion involved. Various objects have different types of motion. They can be classified into translatory motion, circular motion and oscillatory motion. Motion of an object can also be classified as periodic and non-periodic. If an object travels equal distance in equal time, its motion is said to be uniform, if not, the motion is said to be non-uniform. A physical quantity used to distinguish between uniform and non-uniform motion is average speed.
Your child should be able to
- define motion
- identify objects in motion and at rest
- describe different types of motion, with examples from daily life
- define uniform and non-uniform motion with examples from daily life
- define the concept of speed (average speed)
- calculate average speed of objects based on data provided
- define weight
- relate weight of an object with its mass
Key concepts in this unit
- Motion as a change in position of an object with respect to time.
- Types of motion:
- Translatory Circulatory Oscillatory
- Repetitive (Periodic and Non Periodic)
- Random Uniform and Non Uniform Motion: concept of distance and speed (average speed)
- Weight:
- Concept Differences between Mass and Weight.
Teach this unit at home
- A day-by-day plan from the CISCE concepts, so you know what to cover each day.
- A step-by-step script for each day, so you know what to say and ask (AI-written from the CISCE curriculum, so check it against your child's school book).
- A quiz at the end.
