Duration

50 minutes

Class Size

20 students

Unit Context

This is Lesson 19 of 20 in the unit Newton’s Laws in Action. This lesson provides an essential review of Newton’s three laws of motion and prompts students to reflect on their understanding and real-world applications before the finale lesson.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

• Recall and explain Newton’s three laws of motion with clear examples.
• Apply each law to everyday phenomena or simple experiments.
• Reflect on their learning journey and discuss how Newton’s laws impact various aspects of life and technology.

Standards Alignment

This lesson aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) that support scientific understanding, critical thinking, and communication skills.

NGSS Standards:

• MS-PS2-2: Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
• MS-PS2-1: Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects.

CCSS ELA Standards:

• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.6.1: Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 6 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas
