Newtons 1st law of motion activities

For Science Sunday this week, and in honor of Isaac Newton's birthday, I hot glued 4 pairs of milk caps together... ...three green pairs, each with one cap filled with play dough, and 1 pair of yellow, left empty, with no play dough. I stacked them up, and challenged the children to knock the yellow cap set out, while leaving all the green caps neatly stacked. You can watch our slow motion video below, to see Newton's 1st law of motion at work. Happy birthday Isaac Newton! Linked with…

Hands on physics activities that explore Newton's Laws of Motion. An inquiry based lesson plan to facilitate deeper learning and retention.

Explore Newton's Laws of Motion, then put that new knowledge to the test as you build your own arcade game. A perfect Science Fair Project!

Do you ever walk into your classroom in the morning and have a weird feeling about the lesson you've planned? I had this idea in my head and it was partially written in my plans, but I felt like there were several holes in my "idea". I kept thinking thinking thinking about how to make it just right. Granted, this was all this morning around 7:00 AM. Have you ever felt this way? Oy! It happens often to yours truly. Today, actually worked out in my favor because the lesson turned out to be…

Mrs. Barron | MS Science Teacher on Instagram: "Introduction to Inertia! This is a great activity for Newton’s 1st Law of Motion. You have to try it!✨ All you need are some index cards, string, and plastic cups. For a group of 4 students you will need 4 index cards and 5 cups. I got this idea from @mrsnelsonsmiddles 😃 Tip: use the hole punch reinforcement stickers to help your cards last year after year. #iteachscience #iteach6th #scienceactivity #middleschoolscienceteacher…

Learn about Inertia and Newton's laws, one of the core principles in Physics. Also, see how to demonstrate Inertia with a simple experiment.

Having investigated Newton's first law of motion, it seemed only natural to move on to the 2nd: Force equals Mass times Acceleration. Thinking of one of those "strong man" carnival games, where you h
