Name of School : DAPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Address : DAPA, SURIGAO DEL NORTE

Teacher : JOAN MARIE C. PELIAS
Subject : SCIENCE 8
Section : 8 - Jenner
Time Schedule : 12:00 – 12:50 PM
Date : June 11- 13, 2018
Time Frame : 3 days

I. Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

 understand the first law of motion;
 explain the effect of mass on inertia: the greater the body’s mass, the greater will be its inertia;
 relate the concept of inertia to their experiences while riding a vehicle.

I. Subject Matter:

Lesson: Newton’s First Law of Motion ( Law of Inertia)

References: Grade 8 LM, TG, Science book
Materials: Visual aids, Activity Sheet

II. Lesson Development:

Learning Activities (Motivation)

 Then the teacher will provide background information on Sir Isaac Newton by using the following
website: http://teachertech.rice.edu/Participants/louviere/Newton/newton.html
 Read to students the introductory paragraphs and then any additional facts about Newton you feel
relevant.
 After introducing Sir Isaac Newton begin the lesson by informing the students that although there are three
laws of motion this lesson will only focus on the first.
 The teacher will present some example relating to the first law of motion.
 Let the students watch a video that pertains to law of inertia.

 The students will perform …

Activity 3 Investigating the Inertia

B. ANALYSIS

Coin Drop

Q9. When we slowly pulled the cardboard, the coin on top moved with the cardboard.
 The frictional force acting between the coin and the cardboard caused the coin to stay on top of the
cardboard and moves with it.
Q10. When the coin was flipped quickly, the cardboard moved forward but the coin did not move with it. When the
cardboard was removed from underneath, it’s the coin dropped into the glass.
 The coin did not move forward with the coin because of the tendency of the coin to stay at rest (inertia).

Stack of Coin
Q11. When we hit the bottom coin with the edge of the ruler. it moved out from the pile of coins but the other coins
stayed in place. The inertia of the coins has caused them not to move out with the coin that was hit by the ruler.

C. ABSTRACTION
Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia)
Let's restate Newton's first law in everyday terms:
An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An
object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until
something pushes or pulls on it.
The "forever" part is difficult to swallow sometimes. But imagine that you have
three ramps set up as shown below. Also imagine that the ramps are infinitely long
and infinitely smooth. You let a marble roll down the first ramp, which is set at a
slight incline. The marble speeds up on its way down the ramp. Now, you give a
gentle push to the marble going uphill on the second ramp. It slows down as it goes
up. Finally, you push a marble on a ramp that represents the middle state between
the first two - - in other words, a ramp that is perfectly horizontal. In this case, the
marble will neither slow down nor speed up. In fact, it should keep rolling. Forever.

According to Newton's first law, the marble on that

bottom ramp should just keep going. And going.
 D. APPLICATION

Everyday Applications of Newton's First Law

There are many applications of Newton's first law of motion. Consider some of your experiences in an automobile. Have you
ever observed the behavior of coffee in a coffee cup filled to the rim while starting a car from rest or while bringing a car to
rest from a state of motion? Coffee "keeps on doing what it is doing." When you accelerate a car from rest, the road provides an
unbalanced force on the spinning wheels to push the car forward; yet the coffee (that was at rest) wants to stay at rest. While
the car accelerates forward, the coffee remains in the same position; subsequently, the car accelerates out from under the
coffee and the coffee spills in your lap. On the other hand, when braking from a state of motion the coffee continues
forward with the same speed and in the same direction, ultimately hitting the windshield or the dash. Coffee in motion stays in
motion.
Have you ever experienced inertia (resisting changes in your state of motion) in
an automobile while it is braking to a stop? The force of the road on the locked
wheels provides the unbalanced force to change the car's state of motion, yet
there is no unbalanced force to change your own state of motion. Thus, you
continue in motion, sliding along the seat in forward motion. A person in motion
stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction ... unless acted
upon by the unbalanced force of a seat belt. Yes! Seat belts are used to provide
safety for passengers whose motion is governed by Newton's laws. The seat belt
provides the unbalanced force that brings you from a state of motion to a state of
rest. Perhaps you could speculate what would occur when no seat belt is used.

E. Evaluation
 Project the Newtons_First_Law_Summative_Assessment onto the board/projector screen. Give the students enough time to
analyze what is happening in the picture.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

1. Write to explain how Newton's first law of motion is being illustrated by the soccer player kicking the soccer ball.

2. Suppose the goalie catches the ball. How does that further illustrate Newton’s first law of motion?
