Unit 2 - One Dimensional Motion

Locust Grove High School's honors physics lesson plan covers one-dimensional motion. Students will learn to calculate average and instantaneous velocity, differentiate between scalar and vector quantities, and compare the relationships between position, velocity, acceleration, and time by analyzing graphs and equations. Assessment tools include lab reports, conceptual review questions, graphing exercises, and a unit test to evaluate students' understanding and application of key kinematics concepts and equations.
