Newton's Second Law Virtual Labs

This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a virtual lab for students to discover some of the mathematical relationships involved in Newton's Second Law. Before starting the second virtual lab, students will watch a video and answer questions to allow for access for students to better understand the relationship. Students will then investigate the law further, including graphing the relationship between mass and acceleration to further support student understanding before explicitly learning the law in future lessons.
