1. Newton’s Laws of Motion

2. Warm-up Choose a word in parentheses to complete the statements.
If forces are in the same direction their magnitudes can be (added, subtracted).
If forces are in the opposite direction their magnitudes can be (added, subtracted).
If an object is accelerating or changing direction, then the forces are (balanced, unbalanced).

3. Learning target

4. Four-square (inertia and momentum)
Definitions
Description
Sketches
Relationship

5. DoL Measure of how hard it is to stop an object.
Air bags and seat belts help you from getting injured due to _____.
p = (m)(v)
A car traveling the same speed as a bicycle has more ______.
Help to explain Newton’s Laws of Motion.
For each of the statements: I inertia M momentum B both N neither

6. Warm-up
Explain the differences between momentum and inertia. Use glossary if necessary

7. Learning target
I can summarize Newton’s Laws of Motion.

8. Newton’s First Law of Motion
Definition
Explanation
Balanced forces = no change in motion
Unbalanced forces = change in speed or direction
An object at rest will remain at rest
An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

9. Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Definition
Explanation
Force = mass times acceleration
F=ma
More force to move a more massive object
More force to accelerate an object more

10. Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Definition
Example
Every action has an opposite and equal reaction
Rowing a boat

11. DOL
A runner moves up to the starting line. The starter fires the gun to begin the race and the runner takes off down the track. As she crosses the finish line, she begins to slow herself to a stop.
Explain how all three of Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to this situation. Give specific examples.

14. Learning Target
I can explain how Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to various activities and moving objects.

15. Example Mountain Biking Newton’s First Law of Motion
If forces are extremely unbalanced on the front wheel, then inertia will cause you to crash.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
More force applied to the pedals results in quicker acceleration
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
The action of pulling on the brakes causes the reaction of the brakes being applied to the wheels.

16. Assignment Fold paper into quadrants.
Choose an activity or object that involves motion.
Sketch a diagram in the first quadrant showing your activity.
In each of the next three quadrants, give a detailed explanation or specific example of how each of Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to the activity or object.
Talk with four other students in class and take notes in each quadrant using the back of the paper.

17. DOL - matching NFLM NSLM NTLM Also known as the law of inertia
Force equals mass times acceleration
Every action as an opposite and equal reaction
