1. In this unit, we will be studying Newton’s Laws of Motion. In order to understand these Laws... you first need to learn a little about motion...

2. Open the text to page 4.

3. In this room, what are some things in motion?

4. In this room, what are some reference points? How is motion defined, scientifically? Name something in motion (and tell what the reference point is).

5. What type of object (moving or nonmoving) makes a better reference point? Why?

6. Motion Reference Point Draw what a Reference Point would look like. Draw what Motion would look like.

7. 1.Name a reference point in this room. 2. Describe where you are sitting using reference directions. 3. What is motion (scientifically)? Motion Quiz

8. Now let’s look at idea of speed starting on page 5.

9. What two measurements are needed to calculate speed? How is speed calculated?

10. Why is it useful to calculate average speed?

12. What is happening to speed in the blue line? (In other words, why is the line NOT straight?) What is happening to speed in the red line? (Why is the red line straight?)

13. 1.What two measurements are needed to calculate speed? 2. If you take 10 seconds to walk 50 meters, what is your average speed? Speed Quiz

14. Draw what Rate would look like. Draw what Speed would look like. Speed Rate
