1. Sir Isaac Newton & The Three Laws of Motion 5 th Grade

2. Sir Isaac Newton He was born in England on December 25, 1643. He lived for 85 years. Isaac Newton was raised by his grandmother.

3. Newton’s Education He attended Free Grammar School Then went on to Trinity College Cambridge Newton received both a bachelors and masters degree

4. Newton’s Ideas Newton had new ideas about motion, which he called his three laws of motion. He also had ideas about gravity, the diffraction of light, and forces. *Learn More*

5. The Three Laws of Motion Law #1: Law of Inertia Law #2: F = m x a Law #3: Action/Reaction

6. Law #1: Law of Inertia An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. –This law is often called "the law of inertia". *Learn More*

7. Law #2: F = m x a Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). *Learn More*

8. Law #2: F = m x a The Second Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematical equation: F = m x a –FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION

9. Law #3: Action/Reaction For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. *Learn More*
