Listed are two activities on Newton's Laws. Students may choose to complete them together or separate. Each has a reading passage (content) with comprehension questions. The math portion has not been included but for enrichment students may create math problems using the formula F=ma (Force= mass x acceleration). Force is measured in Newtons, mass in kilograms, and acceleration in m/s2. Example: 20N of force was applied to a 4kg boat, what is the acceleration? F= ma or a= f/m = 20N / 4kg= 5 m/s2.
Student Instructions
Read the passages and answer the corresponding questions. Please feel free to reach out via e-mail to your teacher with any questions or for feedback. Stay well and share your smiles.
