Newton's First Law - Inertia
This lesson introduces the first law of motion to students through inquiry and total physical response. Materials needed are Short videos of first-law examples, with no labels or explanations, Pictures of the first law, with no labels or explanations (for teacher and one copy for each student), Markers, pencils, or colored pencils, Chart paper per group, Recording Devices for student groups, To share videos create a shared drive for students to upload videos
*If students have limited access to technology have them create posters instead of videos
Agenda (60 mins): (teacher-only agenda in slides)
Student Agenda: Investigating the first law of Newton through pictures.

Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
