Objective: For my 5 minute presentation students will learn the difference between a car
with a manual transmission and an automatic transmission.
Procedure:
1. Good afternoon, today for my five minute presentation I will be discussing the difference between an automatic transmission and a manual transmission.
2. Ok so does anyone know how to drive a manual transmission car?
3. From there I’ll introduce how the clutch works in a transmission.
4. I’ll brig them a steering wheel with a paddle shit gear box to show them the type of
clutches Audi uses, or show them pictures of an automatic and manual transmission to
discuss the differences.
*5. After that I’ll show them a 10 second clip on a car revving up and showing them the correct amount of revolutions that need to be achieved before shifting.
6. Check and see if the class understood the presentation.
7. End the presentation.
Check For Understanding
To check for understanding I’ll randomly call on someone and ask them to tell me the
difference between a car with manual transmission and an automatic transmission, or ask
a particular row to tell me specific differences between a car with an automatic
transmission as compared to a car with a manual transmission.
Resources/Materials
1.Steering wheel with paddle shift gearboxes.
-Paddle shift gearboxes are gearboxes that require very minimal movement as compared to a standard “stick shift” gearbox. It saves time which is why it is only used in high performance cars. Such as the Audi R8.
*2.Possible video of a car revving in order to show when its necessary to shift.
-Showing a car revving is important so students can understand when the engine needs another gear. Most people our age that drive an automatic don’t realize the car shifts gears.
*3.Pictures of the internal workings of the transmission.
Pictures of both types of transmission show the differences in the cars and allow students to draw distinctions between the two types of transmissions.
