I. TOPIC AND GENERAL GOAL

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION: COMPREHEND NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION AND DETERMINE THE CENTRAL IDEAS
IN THE TEXT AND VIDEO USING THE KWLU STRATEGY.
II. REFERENCE TO PA OR COMMON CORE STANDARDS

3.2.10.B1. ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE NET FORCES ACTING ON A BODY, THE
MASS OF THE BODY, AND THE RESULTING ACCELERATION USING NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF
MOTION.
APPLY NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION TO THE FORCES BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS.
USE NEWTON’S THIRD LAW TO EXPLAIN FORCES AS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN BODIES.
DESCRIBE HOW INTERACTIONS BETWEEN OBJECTS CONSERVE MOMENTUM.

CC.3.5.9-10.B. DETERMINE THE CENTRAL IDEAS OR CONCLUSIONS OF A TEXT; TRACE THE TEXT’S EXPLANATION
OR DEPICTION OF A COMPLEX PROCESS, PHENOMENON, OR CONCEPT; PROVIDE AN ACCURATE SUMMARY OF THE
TEXT.

III. LESSON OBJECTIVES - OBJECTIVES MUST BE WRITTEN USING OBSERVABLE VERBS

1. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE THREE LAWS OF MOTION.
2. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CENTRAL IDEAS FROM THE TEXT AND
VIDEO.
3. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND THE EQUATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION.
IV. MATERIALS

 NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
STUDENT’S WORKSHEETS
 KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE
V. A. INTRODUCTION
TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO COMPREHEND NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION AND DETERMINE THE CENTRAL IDEAS IN
THE TEXT AND VIDEO USING THE KWLU STRATEGY.
B. LESSON DEVELOPMENT (ACTIVITIES, PROCEDURES)
1. DISTRIBUTE KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE TO THE STUDENTS.
2. EXPLAIN THE KWLU STRATEGY AND MODEL THE FIRST TWO PORTIONS AS A WHOLE CLASS (WHAT I KNOW AND
WHAT I WANT TO LEARN) PRIOR TO SHOWING STUDENTS SOURCE 1: WHAT'S NEWTON'S LAWS SAY? (WHAT
DOES A FOX SAY) - NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION. ASK IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS THEM.
(VIDEO THAT IS A PARODY OF WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY FOR NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION).
3. AFTER SOURCE 1: WHAT'S NEWTON'S LAWS SAY? (WHAT DOES A FOX SAY) - NEWTON'S LAWS OF
MOTION COMPLETE MODEL WITH LAST 2 SECTIONS OF KWLU STRATEGY (WHAT I LEARNED AND HOW CAN I USE
WHAT I LEARNED). ASK IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS THEM.
4. DISTRIBUTE ANOTHER KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE TO STUDENTS FOR PARTNER PRACTICE
ON THE LEARNING STRATEGY.
5. ALLOW STUDENTS TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN PARTNERS AND WARN THEM THEY MUST BE PRODUCTIVE OR THEY
WILL BE SEPARATED. THEN HAVE THEM COMPLETE THE FIRST TWO PORTIONS (WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT I WANT
TO LEARN) OF KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE.
6. HAVE STUDENTS READ SOURCE 2: NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION AS PARTNERS AND INFORM CLASS THEY WILL
WORK TOGETHER TO COMPLETE THE LAST TWO PORTIONS (WHAT I LEARNED AND HOW I CAN USE WHAT I
LEARNED) OF KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE.
C. CLOSURE (SUMMARY)
CONCLUDE BY HAVING STUDENTS SHARE PORTIONS OF THEIR OF KWLU STRATEGY FOR NOTETAKING TEMPLATE
AND EDIT/COMPLETE A FINAL VERSION OF THE INFORMATION.

VI. ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION
STUDENTS SHOULD BE EVALUATED BASED ON THEIR CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION AND THEIR ACCURACY IN
COMPLETING THEIR KWLU CHARTS. WILL DETERMINE ACCURACY AND UNDERSTANDING BY CONTINUAL
MONITORING DURING THE CLASS PERIOD.
VII. DIFFERENTIATION
CONTENT: THE READING LEVEL OF THE TEXT MAY BE TOO CHALLENGING FOR SOME STUDENTS. THEREFORE, THE
TEXTS WILL BE READ IN PARTNERS AND THE VIDEO WILL BE WATCHED AS A WHOLE GROUP. IF A STUDENT
STRUGGLES WITH WRITING THEY CAN RECEIVE THE KWLU NOTES FROM SOMEONE ELSE BUT WILL STILL BE
EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE.
PROCESS: THE STRUGGLING STUDENT WILL BE PAIRED WITH A STUDENT THAT UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL FOR
SOURCE 2: NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION. THE ADVANCED LEARNER WILL BE PROVIDED MORE
INDEPENDENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE KWLU STRATEGY.
ENVIRONMENT: STUDENTS WILL BEGIN BY WRITING AS A WHOLE GROUP AND THEN WORKING WITH PARTNERS.
VIII. INTERDISCIPLINARY CONNECTIONS
LITERACY AND PHYSICS
IX. SELF-EVALUATION
