Each unit connects fundamental physics concepts to the history, practices, and reenactment performances of the Cry of Jelicuon Festival.

🏃Distance, Displacement & 2D Motion

Motion & Kinematics

S7FE-IIIa-1S7FE-IIIa-2S9FE-IIc-18

Explore distance, displacement, velocity, and two-dimensional motion by analyzing how student performers move, enter, and execute choreographed sequences across the Cry of Jelicuon stage.

"Performers running formations, timed stage entrances, and prop throws during the Cry of Jelicuon reenactment"

⚡Newton's Laws, F=ma, Friction & Equilibrium

Forces

S9FE-IIa-16S9FE-IIb-17S8FE-IIa-9S9FE-Iva-35

Investigate Newton's Three Laws, force-mass-acceleration, friction, and equilibrium through the physical demands of Cry of Jelicuon prop construction, riser management, and fight choreography.

"Prop construction with carpentry and wielding, carrying risers and equipment, fight scenes, and performer lifts during the Cry of Jelicuon reenactment"

💥Momentum, Impulse & Change in Motion

Momentum & Impulse

S9FE-IIIb-23S9FE-IIIb-24

Understand momentum and impulse through the dynamic collision-like interactions, dramatic falls, and timed direction changes of the Cry of Jelicuon war scene choreography.

"Fight scenes, sudden stops, mid-air catches, and forward rolls during the Cry of Jelicuon war reenactment"
6 LessonsExplore
🥁Sound Wave Characteristics & Frequency-Pitch

Waves & Sound

S8FE-IVa-25S8FE-IVb-26

Investigate sound wave characteristics and the frequency-pitch relationship by studying the live drumlines and instruments that drive every movement in the Cry of Jelicuon performance.

"Live drumlines and musical instruments setting the tempo and emotional tone of the Cry of Jelicuon reenactment — performers move in direct response to the sound"
6 LessonsExplore
🌡️Conduction, Convection & Radiation

Heat Transfer

S7FE-IVb-5

Explore conduction, convection, and radiation through the post-performance recovery practices of Cry of Jelicuon performers — and learn why proper cool-down is both a safety and physics lesson.

"Post-performance cool-down — performers sweating, resting on the gym floor, and recovering body temperature after the intense Cry of Jelicuon reenactment"

Cultural Context

Why connect physics to the Cry of Jelicuon?

Scientific concepts become intuitive when anchored in familiar local experiences — parade floats demonstrate inertia, drumlines illustrate wave propagation, and torch processions reveal energy transformation.
