Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 10

Objective: Distinguish Newton's Law of Motion; create an experiment about


Newton's Law of Motion; use Newton's Law of Motion to explain how things
move.

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics: Students will calculate the force required to move an object based
on its mass and acceleration, which relates to Newton's second law of motion.

2) Physical Education: Students will analyze the movements and actions of athletes
during sports activities, applying Newton's laws of motion to explain their
performance.

3) English: Students will read and analyze a short story or novel that includes
examples of motion, and discuss how the characters' actions align with Newton's
laws of motion.

Review Motivation:

Teaching Strategy: Interactive Quizzes

Instructional Materials: Quiz app or paper-based quizzes

1) Conduct a "Newton's Law of Motion Quiz" where students answer questions


related to the topic. Provide immediate feedback and explain the correct answers.

2) Show a short video clip of a thrilling action scene in a movie that involves intense
motion. Ask students to discuss the physics behind the movements they observed.

3 Divide the class into groups and assign each group a real-life scenario where
Newton's laws of are at play. Have them present their scenarios and explain how the
laws applyActivity 1: Newton's Laws Experiment

Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning


Materials: Toy cars, ramps, stopwatches, metersticks, graph paper

Significance: This experiment allows students to directly observe and measure the
effects of forces motion, applying Newton's laws.

Instructions:

1) Set up a ramp using books or a board and place a toy car at the top.

2) Measure the height of the ramp, the distance traveled by the car, and the time it
takes to reach the bottom.

3) Repeat the experiment with different ramp heights and record the data.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of measurements: 5 pts

- Analysis of data: 5 pts

- Conclusion and explanation of results: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What is the relationship between ramp height and the distance traveled by the
car?

2) How does the acceleration of the car change as the ramp height increases?

3) Explain how Newton's laws of motion apply to the results of this experiment.

Activity 2: Forces in Sports

Teaching Strategy: Discussion

Materials: Sports equipment (optional)

Significance: This activity allows students to analyze the application of Newton's


laws of motion in various sports.
Instructions:

1) Divide the class into small groups and assign each group a specific sport (e.g.,
basketball, swimming, soccer).

2) Discuss and analyze the forces involved in the chosen sport, considering
Newton's laws of motion.

3) Have each group present their findings and lead a class discussion on how the
laws of motion apply to different sports.

Rubric:

- Understanding of Newton's laws in the context of the sport: 5 pts

- Clarity of presentation: 5 pts

- Contribution to class discussion: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) How does Newton's first law of motion apply to the sport you studied?

2) Identify an example in your chosen sport where Newton's second law of motion is
evident.

3) Explain how Newton's third law of motion is demonstrated in the sport you
researched.

Activity 3: Motion in Literature

Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing

Materials: Short stories or novels with examples of motion

Significance: This activity encourages students to analyze and interpret literary


texts while connecting them to Newton's laws of motion.
Instructions:

1) Assign each student a character from a selected literary work that involves motion
(e.g., "The Hunger Games," "Harry Potter").

2) In small groups, have students role-play as their assigned characters and discuss
the actions and movements described in the text.

3) Lead a class discussion on how the characters' actions align with Newton's laws
of motion, using specific examples from the literature.

Rubric:

- Understanding of the character and their actions: 5 pts

- Analysis of how the character's movements relate to Newton's laws: 5 pts

- Contribution to class discussion: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) Describe a specific action or movement of your assigned character and explain


how it relates to Newton's laws of motion.

2) How does the character's understanding or application of Newton's laws affect the
plot or their interactions with other characters?

3) Connect the actions of the character to real-life situations where Newton's laws of
motion are at play.

ANALYSIS:

Activity 1: The experiment allowed students to observe and measure the effects of
forces and motion, providing concrete evidence of Newton's laws in action. Students
were able to analyze the data and draw conclusions based on their results,
deepening their understanding of the laws of motion.

Activity 2: Through the analysis of forces in sports, students were able to apply
Newton's laws to real-life scenarios, enhancing their understanding of how the laws
govern motion in different athletic activities.
Activity 3: By analyzing the movements of characters in literature, students were
able to make connections between fictional actions and real-world physics,
expanding their understanding of how Newton's laws of motion are present in various
contexts.

ABSTRACTION:

Through the study of Newton's laws of motion, students will learn to distinguish the
different laws and their applications in various situations. They will understand that
forces and motion are interconnected, and that these laws help explain how objects
move and interact with each other. By identifying patterns and rules, students can
deepen their understanding of motion and apply these principles to real-life
scenarios.

APPLICATION:

Teaching Strategy: Problem-Based Learning

Task 1: Design a safety device for a specific sport that minimizes the risk of injury
based on Newton's laws of motion. Students will research the sport, identify potential
risks, and propose a device that mitigates those risks.

Task 2: Analyze the motion of a car in a collision using Newton's laws of motion.
Students will gather data from a real-life collision scenario, calculate forces involved,
and propose ways to improve safety measures.
