What educators are saying

What an absolute blast this was!! We had so much fun and my kids really got into this lesson! Thanks for a great resource, your materials are always a hit in my room!
This is such a fun project for students to do! I love that while they are having fun they can learn and understand the concept of inertia! Great job on coming up with this activity!

Description

Description:

Are you teaching Newton's Laws? Inertia Towers is a great way to expose your students to Newton's first law of motion, unbalanced forces, and inertia. Students will have the opportunity to participate in this fun activity and then think about what it has to do with Newton's first law. This lesson takes about 45 minutes and is SO much fun!

What's Included:

  • Lesson plan
  • PowerPoint slides to project as directions for students
  • Inertia Towers reflection questions (one version for science notebooks and another one for students to write on)

Supplies Needed:

  1. Plastic cups
  2. String
  3. Notecards
  4. Hole puncher
  5. Weights (washers, marbles, etc.)

How I Like to Use This Product:

I like to use this lesson as an introduction to Newton's first law. I do not tell students what Newton's first law is and during this activity, they have to predict and guess what his first law is about. Your students will love this activity!

Thank you for visiting my store! I am SO honored you are here! Being able to share ideas with other teachers brings me great joy! If you like this product, please leave a review or share a picture on Instagram of this product in your classroom! Don’t forget to tag @mrsnelsonsmiddles!
