The Innovative Lesson Plan for Enhancing Students’ Ideas in Physics About Application of Newton'S Laws Through STEM Education

EasyChair Preprint 6120

Abstract

The paper aimed to clarify the innovative lesson plan learning activities about making facilities or assistance methods for disabled or elderly. The activities provided concept of application of Newton's laws which were developed through STEM education. The STEM education learning activity will be developed based on Sutaphan and Yuenyong (2019) the context-based STEM education learning approach. The activity will start from identification of the social issue of desirable urban life for elderly and disabled who are not as comfortable as they deserve. The issue will engage students to develop projects for solutions. The problems have arisen inadequate facilities or services for the disabled or the elderly. Starting from that thought, it would be very suitable if STEM was applied in the development of ideas related to making simple tools to design facilities or assistance methods for disabled or elderly. Through the context-based STEM education learning approach, students may motivate students to apply knowledge about physics (e.g. application of Newton's laws, friction) to design prototypes or products through the engineer design process. This paper may have implications for designing STEM education learning activities.
