CURRICULAR STATEMENT
Pupils develop an understanding on the concept `Relative motion through
experimentation, observation and discussion and also develop an ability to use
the acquired knowledge in another situations

CONTENT ANALYSIS
TERMS

FACTS

State of rest, State of motion, Reference body

i. A passenger in a moving bus is in state of rest with

respect to the bus and in state of motion with respect to
the rod
ii. A child standing in a field is in state of rest with respect
to the ground but in the state of motion with respect to
the sun
iii. A crow sitting on a cow is in state of rest with respect to
the cow and in state of motion with respect to the
ground
iv. A book on s rotating table is in state of rest with respect
to the table and in state of motion with respect to the
ground
v. The baby of kangaroo is in the state of rest with respect
to the mother and in state of motion with respect to the
ground
vi. The earth is not seems to be moving with respect to us
but seems to be moving when watching from other
planets
vii. All creatures on earth are in state of motion with respect
to the sun but not in motion with respect to the earth

CONCEPTS:
i. Reference body: Reference body is the body with respect to
which the state of rest or state of motion of another body
can be described
ii. State of rest: If the position of a body does not changes with
respect to the reference body then the body is said to be at
rest
iii. State of motion: If the position of a body changes with
respect to another body then the body is said to be in state
of motion

LEARNING OUTCOME
To enable the pupil to
1. recalling terms and definitions of state of rest, state
of motion and reference body and recognizing the
same for developing factual knowledge
2. explaining the process and definitions of state of rest,
state of motion and reference body for developing
conceptual knowledge
3. conducting practical works on the techniques of
finding out the state of a body with respect to the
reference body for developing procedural knowledge
4. validating the process of defining state of rest, state
of motion and reference body for developing meta
cognitive knowledge

PRE-REQUISITES
The pupils already knows that sometimes they are in motion and sometimes
they are t rest

CLASSROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE

INTRODUCTION
1. Have you ever travelled in a bus?
2. Do you like to see sites while travelling in a bus?
3. Did you feel that the trees and hills are running
backward when we move forward?
4. Did your companions are seem to be running
backward?
5. Why did you feel like this?
So today through this class we will discuss about this.
Teacher starts the class.

EXPECTED PUPIL RESPONSE

Yes
Yes
No

PRESENTTION
Teacher divides the whole students in to four
groups and name them as NEWTON, EINSTEIN, Students form the groups
GALILI, KEPLER and ask them to do the following
activities.
ACTIVITY NO:1
Teacher shows a video of a group of person
travelling in a bus. In the video a person standing
outside the bus is waving his hands towards a
passenger inside the bus. Teacher instructed the
students to watch the video and to answer the
following questions by discussing in the group.
DISCUSSION CLUES
1. What do you saw in the video?
2. Whether the position of the passenger
changes with respect to the man standing
outside?
3. Does his position changes with respect to the
companion in the bus?
CONCEPTS TO BE CONSOLIDATED
The position of the passenger changes with respect
to the road but does not changes with respect to the
bus

Students watch the video and

answer the questions

A bus journey
Yes

No

ACTIVITY NO:2
Students watch the video and
Teacher shows a video of a crow sitting on a cow answer the questions
grazing in a field. Teacher instructed the pupils to
watch it and to answer the following questions by
discussing in the group.
DISCUSSION CLUES
1. What do you see in the video?
2. Does the position of the crow changes with
respect to the cow?
3. Does the position of the crow changes with
respect to the ground?

A crow and a cow

No
Yes

CONCEPTS TO BE CONSOLIDATED
The position of the crow changes with respect to the
ground but doesnt changes with respect to the cow
Students watch the video
ACTIVITY NO: 3
Teacher shows a video of solar system to the
students. Instructed them to watch it and to answer
the following questions by discussing in the group.
Solar system
No
DISCUSSION CLUES
1. What do you see in the video?
2. Do we feel that the earth is moving with Yes
respect to us?
3. Does the earth is seems to be moving when
watching from other planets?
CONCEPTS TO BE CONSOLIDATED
When observing from earth the earth is seems to be
not moving. But the earth actually moves.
GENERALISATION
From the above activities it is clear that a body is
said to be in state of rest or state of motion only with
respect to another body. When the body in reference
changes the state also changes.

Reference body is the body with respect to which

the state of rest or state of motion of another body
can be described

If the position of a body does not changes with

respect to the reference body then the body is said
to be at rest

If the position of a body changes with respect to

another body then the body is said to be in state of
motion

FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES
REVIEW:
i.
ii.
iii.

What is mean by reference body?

Does the position of the moon changes with respect to the earth?
What is the state of a book on a rotating table with respect to the
ground?
