This lesson introduces Newton's first law of motion otherwise known as the law of inertia. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law of Motion."

Students are introduced to Newton's third law of motion, and then learn that engineers apply Newton's third law and an understanding of reaction forces when designing a wide range of creations, from rockets and aircraft to door knobs,...

Within this resource, you will learn more about Newton's first law and real-world applications of this law.

Newton's First Law also called the law of inertia is the most important thing to realize about motion. This article offers more information on motion and explains solved problems involving Newton's First Law. Also included is a video...

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 3 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

Step-by-step illustrated instructions showing how to drop four eggs into four cups without touching them. Demonstrates the concept of inertia according to Newton's first law of motion.

In this illustrated introduction of Newton's Laws of Motion, the ways in which motion can be explained will be discussed.

This video describes Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the everyday motion of a bicycle. [3:33] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

After a review of force, types of forces, and Newton's first law, students are introduced to Newton's second law of motion: force = mass x acceleration.

This activity provides students an opportunity to investigate Newton's first law by observing inertia in a variety of experiments. Students will hypothesize on possible outcomes, write observations of what has happened, and apply...

In this lesson, students watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation. It includes formative and...

Use this outline to find out about Newton's Laws of Motion. Use the different lesson plans covering the laws of motion to learn more.

This is part of a lesson on Newton's Laws of Motion that focuses on inertia and mass. It restates Newton's first law of motion. The lesson also gives a helpful visual description concerning friction.

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 1 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

This lesson introduces Newton's First Law, that inertia causes objects at rest to remain at rest, and objects in motion to remain in motion. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law."

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces, and Newton's three laws of motion.

Students learn about inertia in this simple experiment. They create a stack of twelve round objects, beginning with nickels, and try to remove the bottom object without toppling the tower. Various tools are provided for them to use for...

This lecture covers Newton's three laws of motion. You can watch the lecture on video or listen to audio. A transcript of the lecture and practice problems are also provided.
