Context
description
Based on students knowledge of seeing things fall every day, they should
understand that there is a natural phenomena that causes objects to move
towards the center of the earth. They understand Potential and Kinetic energy,
so they should understand that gravity causes movement of objects to occur.

Objectives
Based on the curriculum, students will be taught how to calculate the force of
gravity between two objects, based on distance apart, the mass of the two
objects, as well as the value of gravity. This will lead on to their physics
classes later on in classes down the road where theyll have to take the
acceleration of gravity into account.
The students will be able to:

Engagement/Introduction/Hook
Discuss the Law of universal gravitation. Give an example on how the mass
of the earth has the same gravitational effect on objects on earth. Ask students
what will hit the ground first if dropped from the same height, the paper clip,
or the text book. Facilitate a discussion about it.
Instructional
outline
Instructional sequence:
Segment 1: Quick 10 minute lecture review of the formula that the
students were given yesterday. Students will be instructed to take
notes on the formula (Force=Gravity*((Mass1*Mass2)/Distance2)
It will be discussed what each variable means
Transition 1:
Ask students to have a pencil out on their desks, hand out the
worksheets
Segment 2:
Work on the worksheets together as a class for the first two problems.
Make sure that everybody has the concept and once every question is
answered and all misconceptions are handled, let them work on their
worksheets quietly
Ill walk around and help students where needed
Transition 2
Tell students that this is due tomorrow, and that they have the rest of
the class period to work on it.
Closure
5 minute recap of everything that we discussed in class today.
