Newton’s Laws Cartoons Due at the end of the class period on Friday!
Newton’s Cartoons • Purpose: To investigate and describe Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion • Background Information: Isaac Newton summed up motion in three laws. Today we consider these laws obvious, not realizing the struggles scientists went through in attempting to understand the world around them.
Newton’s Three Laws of Motion 1. Law of Inertia - An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. 2. Law of Mass and Acceleration - When a force is applied to a given mass, the mass experiences an acceleration that is proportional to the force applied. 3. Law of Action – Reaction - For every action (force), there is an equal and opposite reaction (force).
Materials: large piece of construction paper, rulers, markers, crayons, or colored pencils, brains Procedure: • Review each of Newton’s Laws of Motion • Separate each law on the page with a line either vertically or horizontally. Make sure each law is titled. • Illustrate each of Newton’s Laws using cartoons to provide visual diagrams with text. • Each law may be illustrated as one picture with text OR each law may be illustrated in a series of frames that develop the idea with text (a one picture cartoon vs. a series of pictures)
Cartoon Guidelines • COLOR: Outline in color or shade some of the pictures. Some color is required. Background can be blank. • *Cartoons must be school appropriate • *Goal is to illustrate laws and be humorous
Cartoon • Each law has a title (3pts) _____ • Your name is on the back of your poster (2pts) _____ You can earn up to 5 extra points for exceptional work!
