Students define Isaac Newton¿s 1st Law of motion. They define motion with words such as inertia, speed, velocity and acceleration. They predict the state of various forces acting on an object at rest and in motion. Students chart motion using line graph. Student create and critique an artwork that depicts and applies concept of Newton¿s 1st law. They define inertia as a function of mass. Web assessment is included. Full Review »
