Reluctant Movers

WHY?

If we could view our world through a telescope daily we would observe how on a molecular level everything on our planet is in motion or at rest. Students who are given the opportunity to observe this motion in practical ways can understand in a better way the information that men like Sir Isaac Newton has passed onto them. Even with a simple experiment like the playing card and coins, students see how the Laws of Motion apply on every level of life.

ASSESSMENT: Can the student communicate what they observed?

four Student is able to communicate how inertia is at 'play' with the playing card and coins and give a practical explanation of Newton's First Law of Motion. The student is also able to give another example where Newton's First Law of Motion is at 'play' in their everyday lives.

three Student is able to communicate most of the aspects of how inertia is at 'play' with the playing card and coins and give a practical explanation of Newton's First Law of Motion. The student is also able to give another example where Newton's First Law of Motion is at 'play' in their everyday lives.
