A 50-minute lesson on 1D kinematics with a phone-based motion lab and a built-in formative check.
A complete 50-minute lesson plan: 10-minute hook (a phone-tossed video the class predicts the trajectory of), 20 minutes of guided derivation, 15 minutes of partner lab using the iPhone "Measure" app, and a 5-minute exit ticket.
When you load it into Univation, the lesson auto-localizes to your bell schedule, the lab handout is rendered with the right phone OS instructions for your students, and the exit ticket grades itself.

Learning target
Students can derive and apply v = u + at and s = ut + ½at² and explain when each equation is appropriate.
Lab
In pairs, drop a phone (in a case!) on a tilted desk. Use Measure to record three trials. Plot v–t. Compute g. Explain the discrepancy from 9.81 m/s².
