deceleration.
b. Solving a problem based on the daily life situation.

C Demonstrate Scientific Attitudes and Noble Values

a. Being systematic.
b. Having critical and analytical thinking.

Scientific Concepts:
a. Acceleration is rate of change in velocity.
b. Acceleration= change of velocity = final velocity – initial velocity
time taken time taken
