Objective

​We will be able to:

·       Investigate and describe Newtons 1^st Law by experiencing inertia in three stations in lab groups.

·       Understand the relationship between force and motion.

Turn and Talk

Match each vocabulary term with their definition.

​Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton is considered one of the most important scientist in history. During his lifetime Newton developed the theory of gravity, the laws of motion, and a type of mathematics class Calculus.

Occupation:

Scientist, Mathematician, and Astronomer

Born in January 1643 in England and Died March 31st in England.

Best known for:

Defining the three laws of motion and universal gravitation.

Newtons 1st Law of Motion

Law of Interia

​An object at rest will stay at rest or an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force.

​Inertia: the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.

​An object at rest will stay at rest...

unless acted by an outside force.

​unless acted on by an outside forced...

​An object in motion will continue to stay in motion...

​Vocabulary

Stations

Station 1: Penny in the cup

Station 2: Catch the Penny

Station 3: Buckle up

Today we:

• Investigated and described Newtons 1^st Law by experiencing inertia in three stations in lab groups.

•      Understood the relationship between force and motion.
