  1. Sir Isaac Newton & The Three Laws of Motion 5th Grade

  2. Sir Isaac Newton • He was born in England on December 25, 1643. • He lived for 85 years. • Isaac Newton was raised by his grandmother.

  3. Newton’s Education • He attended Free Grammar School • Then went on to Trinity College Cambridge • Newton received both a bachelors and masters degree

  4. Newton’s Ideas • Newton had new ideas about motion, which he called his three laws of motion. • He also had ideas about gravity, the diffraction of light, and forces. *Learn More*

  5. The Three Laws of Motion • Law #1: Law of Inertia • Law #2: F = m x a • Law #3: Action/Reaction

  6. Law #1: Law of Inertia • An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. • An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. • This law is often called "the law of inertia". *Learn More*

  7. Law #2: F = m x a • Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. • The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). *Learn More*

  8. Law #2: F = m x a • The Second Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematical equation: • F = m x a • FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION

  9. Law #3: Action/Reaction • For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action. *Learn More*

  10. Quiz Time!! • Test your knowledge • Practice Quiz

  11. Time To Experiment • Directions: • Get in to groups of 3 or 4 • Test the three laws with the materials provided. • Open “Time to Experiment” Word Document on the website. Fill in appropriately. • Create an excel sheet for each experiment.

  12. Excel Sheet Directions • What to include: • The law being tested • Results for at least 3 Trials • After you have entered you data copy/paste your table into the “Time to Experiment” Word Document.

  13. Test Your Knowledge • Take Test • When you finish the quiz print it out and turn it in.
