Newton's Three Laws of Motion
Posted: July 31st, 2008 by kerrkThis is an 8th grade flipchart that covers Newton's Laws. An explantion of each law is given and a streaming video gives animation to the laws.
This flipchart is part of the 8th grade Physics unit.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12
- Students analyze examples of linear motion and accelerated motion.
- Students calculate speed, velocity, acceleration of moving objects and investigate how forces affect motion in different frames of reference.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12
- Students analyze the effects of the force of gravity on the motion of an object in free-fall.
- Students interpret graphs of accelerated motion.
- Students calculate the final velocity and distance that an object falls for a defined time under the influence only of gravity.
- Students apply the concept of air resistance (friction) to understand terminal velocity and apply it to the motion of an object.

Physics 1 Academic: Grades 11 and 12
- Students interpret graphs to explain the motion needed to generate the graph.
- Students match the type of motion to what the graph will look.
- Students analyze motion as constant and accelerated based on the slope of the graph.
