1. Newton’s Laws Introduction Objectives: Students will take a pre-assessment to demonstrate prior knowledge of Newton’s Laws vocabulary. Students will design and conduct an experiment to explore an introduction to Newton’s Laws. WARM UP: Who was Isaac Newton? What do you know about him?

2. Before we begin our topic of study on Newton’s Laws we will take a pre test. This is only to find out what you already know.

3. After conducting our own experiment using a tennis ball dropped from different heights, lets took a look at different objects dropped from different heights. What prediction can you make about dropping a penny from the Empire State building?

4. FREE FALLING! The goal of this activity is to determine the acceleration of a tennis ball due to gravity. Today you will be designing your own lab experiment. You will design a test in which you will measure the motion of a tennis ball to record distance over time for several heights. Step 1: Sketch a design of your lab experiment Step 2: Get your lab sketch approved Step 3: Determine the heights from which you will drop the tennis ball. Fill in the table Step 4: Conduct your test and record the results of the ball dropped from different distances

5. Groups/ Job Responsibilities Timer: Use a Device or A Stop Watch to track how long it takes the tennis ball to hit the ground once released from your groups chosen height. Recorder: Record data for your lab group Material Manager: Drop the ball from chosen height. Measurer: Responsible for measurements (1 or 2 per group). Discovery Education Virtual Lab

6. Who was Newton anyway?
