Part 1: Word List (Сөздік / Словарный запас)
| Scalar | Скаляр | Скаляр | A number with a size (like 5 or 100). |
| Vector | Вектор | Вектор | A number with a size AND a direction (like 5 meters East). |
| Distance | Расстояние | Қашықтық | How far you travel in total. |
| Displacement | Перемещение | Орын ауыстыру | How far you are from your start point. |
| Size | Размер | Өлшем | How big or how much. |
| Direction | Направление | Бағыт | North, South, East, West, Up, Down. |
Part 2: Explain to Your Partner (Түсіндір / Объясни) Work in pairs (Partner A and Partner B). Task 1: Scalar and Vector Partner A 🗣️: Explain the difference between Scalar and Vector to Partner B.
- Scalar only has size. Give an example (like time: 5 minutes).
- Vector has size AND direction. Give an example (like speed: 5 km/h North).
Partner B 👂: Listen carefully. Ask one question to Partner A. Then, write Partner A’s examples here:
| Type | Size Only? (Yes/No) | Direction Too? (Yes/No) | Example (from Partner A) |
| Scalar | |||
| Vector |
Task 2: Distance and Displacement Partner B 🗣️: Explain the difference between Distance and Displacement to Partner A.
- Distance is the total path you walk. It is a scalar (4+3=7m).
- Displacement is the straight line from start to end. It is a vector(5 m).
Partner A 👂: Listen carefully. Ask one question to Partner B. Then, draw a simple path and show both Distance and Displacement.
- Draw your path here: (Start ➡️ Walk around ➡️ End)
![]()
- The Distance is the long, curved line.
- The Displacement is the short, straight arrow with a direction.
Part 3: Practice Tasks (Тапсырмалар / Задания) Work together to complete these tasks. Task 1: Which Type? Look at the words below. Write ‘S’ for Scalar or ‘V’ for Vector next to each one.
- A car’s speed is 80 km/h. ________
- An airplane flies 500 km North. ________
- The time is 1 hour. _________
- A force pushes a box 10 Newtons to the right. _________
- The temperature is 25°C. ________
Task 2: The Ant Walk 🐜 An ant walks on a table.
- The ant walks 5 cm East.
- Then, it walks 3 cm West.
- Then, it stops.
Calculate (Find):
- What is the ant’s total Distance?
- Distance = ________
- What is the ant’s Displacement? (You need size and direction!)
- Start East _____________
- Displacement = ____________
- Direction: ___________
