Students are able to identify examples of Newton’s First Law of motion. In addition, they are also able
to draw a free-body force diagram identifying all the forces acting on an object.

Ways to Gain/Maintain Attention (Primacy): How will you gain and maintain students’ attention?
Consider need, novelty, meaning, or emotion.
Why is it easier to move a box filled with packing peanuts as oppose to same box filled with books.
Newton’s First Law demo will be provided. Skydiver jumping from plane slows down when he opens his
parachute. Why?
Content Chunks: How will you divide and teach the content to engage students’ brains?
Lesson Segment 1: Presentation of definitions of Inertia, Force, Net Force, Balanced &
Unbalanced Forces, and Equilibrium. Presentations of Term Map Rubric.
Activities: Students will works in groups of three to five taking one of the above mentioned
terms and create a Term Maps. Each student will be responsible for creating a term map for at
least one of the terms. Teams will then share their term maps with other teams in the class.
Lesson Segment 3: Three examples of Newton’s First Law will be provided. Example 1, a book
resting on a table; example 2, a paratrooper jumped out of air plane and opens his parachute; a
curling rock, or a hockey puck sliding over ice.
Activities: Students will again work in pairs writing in their composition notebooks names
of all the forces acting on the object. In addition, they will also draw in their composition
notebooks a free-body force diagram for all three example.
