Topic Laws of Motion

Grade/Level Grade 5

Objective(s) - Students will understand the concept of inertia and Newton's First Law of Motion.
- Students will understand Newton's Second Law of Motion and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
- Students will understand Newton's Third Law of Motion and the concept of action and reaction.
- Students will apply their understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion to real-life situations.
- Students will review and demonstrate their understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion.

IMPLEMENTATION
Procedure Monday: Newton's First Law

1. Bellwork:
- Show a picture of a moving car and ask students to discuss what happens when the car suddenly stops.

2. Introduction:
- Introduce the concept of inertia and explain how objects at rest tend to stay at rest, while objects in motion tend to stay in
motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- Present Newton's First Law of Motion.

3. Demonstration:
- Use objects like a book and a ball to demonstrate the concept of inertia and how it relates to Newton's First Law.
- Discuss real-life examples of inertia.

4. Group Activity:
- Divide students into groups and provide them with scenarios involving motion. Ask them to identify the objects at rest
and in motion and predict their behavior according to Newton's First Law.

5. Discussion:
- Review the group activity as a class and discuss the predictions.

Tuesday: Newton's Second Law

1. Bellwork:
- Ask students to recall what they learned about inertia and Newton's First Law.

2. Review:
- Briefly review Newton's First Law.

3. Introduction to Newton's Second Law:

- Explain that Newton's Second Law deals with the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
- Present the formula F = ma and explain its components.

4. Demonstration:
- Use a toy car and different weights to demonstrate how force, mass, and acceleration are related.
- Show how the car's acceleration changes when different amounts of force are applied.

5. Group Activity:
- Provide students with problems related to Newton's Second Law, where they need to calculate force, mass, or
acceleration.
- Encourage them to work in pairs to solve the problems.

6. Discussion:
- Review and discuss the solutions to the group activity as a class.
- Address any questions or concerns.

7. Homework

-Calculate force using Newton's Second Law for given scenarios and provide a real-life example demonstrating the law's
usefulness.

Wednesday: Newton's Third Law

1. Bellwork:

 - Ask students to describe what happens when they push a wall.

2. Introduction:
- Introduce the concept of Newton's Third Law, stating that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Present Newton's Third Law of Motion.

3. Demonstration:
- Use balloons and a straw to demonstrate the concept of action and reaction.
- Show how air escaping from the balloon propels it in the opposite direction.

4. Group Activity:
- Provide students with scenarios where they can identify the action and reaction pairs according to Newton's Third Law.
- Have them work in pairs or small groups to identify the pairs.

5. Discussion:
- Review and discuss the action and reaction pairs from the group activity as a class.
- Address any questions or concerns.

Thursday: Application of Newton's Laws

1. Bellwork:
- Present a scenario card (e.g., a person jumping) and ask students to identify which of Newton's Laws of Motion applies to
the situation.

2. Review:
- Briefly review Newton's First, Second, and Third Laws.

3. Scenario Analysis:
- Provide students with a set of scenario cards representing various real-life situations.
- In pairs or small groups, ask students to discuss and identify which law applies and explain why.

4. Group Discussion:
- Have each group share their analysis with the class, discussing which law applies and how.

Friday: Review and Assessment

1. Bellwork:
- Ask students to recall one key concept from each of Newton's Laws of Motion.

2. Review:
- Review key points about Newton's Laws of Motion, emphasizing the three laws and their applications.

3. Independent Practice:
- Administer the assessment to evaluate students' understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion.

4. Assessment:
- Collect and review the assessments.

5. Closing:
- Discuss any common mistakes or misconceptions found in the assessments.
