Description

This engaging activity offers a blend of fun and education, ideally suited for the day before Spring Break.

It presents a creative approach to incorporating Newton's three laws of motion into an Easter-themed lesson, suitable for both traditional classroom settings and homeschool environments. Supporting students' comprehension of Newton's laws, this Easter lab activity explores the interplay between force, motion, and energy.

By utilizing an Easter basket to delve into Free Body Diagrams (FBDs), students can investigate and comprehend the practical applications of these fundamental laws of motion. Within this activity, students will engage with concepts related to force, mass, and acceleration, fostering a deeper understanding of these key principles. To streamline the assessment process, a rubric is included to facilitate grading for educators.

NGSSMS-PS2-4

Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. Examples of evidence for arguments could include data generated from simulations or digital tools; and charts displaying mass, strength of interaction, distance from the Sun, and orbital periods of objects within the solar system. Assessment does not include Newton’s Law of Gravitation or Kepler’s Laws.

NGSSMS-PS2-2

Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units. Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame, and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.

NGSSMS-PS2-5

Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact. Examples of this phenomenon could include the interactions of magnets, electrically-charged strips of tape, and electrically-charged pith balls. Examples of investigations could include first-hand experiences or simulations. Assessment is limited to electric and magnetic fields, and limited to qualitative evidence for the existence of fields.

NGSSMS-PS2-1

Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. Examples of practical problems could include the impact of collisions between two cars, between a car and stationary objects, and between a meteor and a space vehicle. Assessment is limited to vertical or horizontal interactions in one dimension.
