Recapitulation:

This is done by questioning method.

HOTS:

 Quote two situations where non-standard units are still in practice.

 What is parallax error? How can it be corrected?
 How many centimeters are there in half a kilometer?
Activity:

 Paste pictures of different types of motion and write about it on A4 sheet.
