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.
Group conclusions

This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
Students will explore how gravity plays a role in orbits and the attraction between objects in space, using online simulations. In addition to the online simulations this lesson contains ideas for
In this lesson plan, students will be able to investigate battery cells as they construct their own simple batteries: They will know that batteries are a common store of energy for many devices that
