Unit Overview
Unit Title
Forces
Unit Summary
Forces change the motion o" obects in #redictable ways$ Galileo imagined a world without "riction
and conducted a though e!#eriment in his ideal world$ %e concluded that it doesn&t take a "orce to
kee# an obect moving' but it takes a "orce to sto# an obect that is already in motion$ Newton
restated Galileo in his "irst law called inertia( obects at rest remain at rest' and obects in motion
remain in motion with the same velocity' unless acted u#on by an unbalanced "orce$ %e also had two
other laws$ Newton&s second law which is ")ma' and Newton&s third law which states that when one
obect e!erts a "orce on another obect' the second obect e!erts an e*ual and o##osite "orce on the
"irst obect$

Stuent O$%ectives&'earning Outcomes
4- Students will model a te!tbook on a table with a balanced "orce to inter#ret Newton&s First Law$
1- Students will model a te!tbook on a table with an unbalanced "orce to inter#ret Newton&s First
Law$
5- Students will analy3e data "rom the virtual Newton&s Laws lab on
htt#2//www$sciencechannel$com/games(and(interactives/newtons(laws(o"(motion(interactive$htm to
test the a""ects o" "orces on acceleration by mani#ulating both the "orce and acceleration o" each
obect$

test the a""ects o" "orces on mass by mani#ulating both the "orce and mass o" each obect$
7- A"ter watching the "li# video on Newton&s second Law' students will inter#ret what the law really
means$

; will "igure out where my students are by giving them their diagnostic *ui3 about balanced "orces>
unbalanced "orces> and Newton&s three laws$ A"ter ; "igure out where they are' ; will let them build
u#on what they already know by teaching them about Newton and how "orces a""ect everyday li"e$ ;
will do "ormative assessment by "re*uently check their understandings while they are working on
each o" their calculations$ ; will also take these calculations u# as a "ormal "ormative assessment$
A"terwards' ; will test what they learned in a "ormal summative *ui3$
