Newtons Laws of Motion Unit Part 1

This unit consists of 10 lessons of about 50 minutes and 15 pages of printable work bundle. The work bundle chronologically follows the entire set of interactive slideshows (hundreds of amazing slides). Students record fill-in notes on the red slides, answer questions, conduct hands-on activities including a fantastic f=ma lab, design their own study for Newton's third law, has many exciting and simple demonstration or class activities, includes video links, built-in assessments, games, and much more. The slideshows are engaging and interactive throughout. Everything can be uploaded to Google Classroom if you wish, and arrive fully editable.

-Note: Friction is also covered in this unit, and types of Friction / Friction Lab.

The interactive slideshow begins with a basic review of energy over a series of slides before being introduced to Sir Isaac Newton. Newtons First Law of Motion is described in a series of step by step slides. Students follow along filling in important red slide notes. A step by step approach has the students record one piece of information at a time. Several activities with directions are included such as knocking out the bottom domino from a pile, pulling a piece of paper from beneath the domino pile, neat paper plate with marble, and balancing skewer activity. Directions are also included in the slideshow with visuals that make running and understanding the activity a snap. Follow-up questions with answers are always provided. Inertia is then described again in greater detail and reference to a tight right hand turn and fast moving automobile is described. A center of mass / gravity activity is presented and students use meter sticks and weights to find the center of mass as well as stack Dominoes so that they hang off of the table. A ballistic car demonstration is described, and a human version with a kickball and rolling office chair. A series of multiple choice and move the corner of the room with the correct letter is provided for some review and movement. Newton's Second Law is then described in detail, and a series of slides have students answer questions about F=ma. A neat activity that has students use basketballs and smaller rubber balls to help teach F=ma is provided with procedure, visuals, questions, answers, and more. Newtons 3rd Laws is then covered. A link to a video hoax on YouTube is provided and students try and figure out why the video is a Hoax according to Newton's Laws. The answers to the hoax are then described in a series of slides. Newtons Cradle is described in detail and demonstration provided. This is a great wrap up to the PowerPoint. Three hidden box games conclude the PowerPoint where students need to guess the picture hidden beneath the boxes as each slide unveils more of the picture. Please read the entire Motion and Machines Unit described below before purchasing this PowerPoint.

This PowerPoint includes critical notes (Red Slides), exciting visuals, challenge questions, activities with directions, links to great videos and more. Text is usually placed at the top of the slide so it can be read from all angles of a classroom. Color coded slides, as well as a shade technique is used to increase student focus and allows the teacher to control the pace of the lesson. These PowerPoints are meant to be interactive as possible and ask many questions, provides built in review opportunities, explains directions to activities, and much more.
