Description
This lesson using the Forces in One Dimension PhET virtual lab will allow students to construct their own understanding of Newton’s Second Law of Motion without necessarily being told the name of the Law itself. Students at this point in their physics unit will need to understand the concept of mass, motion with respect to a reference point, that an object in motion always changes its position and may change its direction, that the speed of an object is determined by the distance it travels in a unit of time, and that a force is a push or pull on an object.
There is also a follow-up worksheet included. Students should complete the simulation lab first and then you can assign the follow-up worksheet to evaluate their understanding of the concepts.
Now also included as a digital Google Slides version!
The virtual lab is located at this link. Please note that this simulation requires Java to run. If your students have personal laptops or tablets, I suggest checking if this simulation works on them before purchasing this resource!
Answer key is included.
