2015District E.A.T.S Lesson Plan(s)
SP1. Students will analyze the relationships between force, mass, gravity, and the motion of objects.
a. Calculate average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration in a given frame of reference.
b. Compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities.
c. Compare graphically and algebraically the relationships among position, velocity, acceleration, and time.
d. Measure and calculate Newton’s three laws of motion.
Learning Goal:
Students will determine what factor affects the rate of a falling object (Need to root out the
misconception that mass is a major effect on the rate that objects fall).
Kickoff/Activating
KO: Describe how mass and inertia are strongly related conceptually.
Strategy:
(5 min.)
Teaching Strategies:
Procedures/Technology/
Performance Tasks:
(35 min.)
Collect student lab reports – speed buggy lab – formal write up
Teacher demo: Comparing object dropped
WC – determine what factor actually causes the difference in the rate objects fall
Direct instruction: Air resistance and terminal velocity
Student work – apply falling objects concepts in OLC assignment
Differentiation: Students may work with seat partners.
Summarizing Strategy:
WC discussion – work feedback
(10 min.)
Assessment/Evaluation:
WC discussion, student review work
Materials Needed:
iPad, internet access, OLC, Apple TV, MetaMoji Note, calculators, physics classroom website, canary
flow student app

b. Compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities.
c. Compare graphically and algebraically the relationships among position, velocity, acceleration, and time.
d. Measure and calculate Newton’s three laws of motion.
Learning Goal:
(After pre-test) Students will demonstrate that mass and weight are two different measurements.
Kickoff/Activating
KO: Determine the weight of an object using gravity and the object’s mass.
Strategy: (5 min.)
Teaching Strategies:
Procedures/Technology/
Performance Tasks:
(35 min.)
Summarizing Strategy:
Physics Unit 3 pre-test (within 3 days of Unit 2 assessment)
Reinforce/teach weight vs. mass, inertia and mass, and falling objects with terminal velocity
Differentiation: With this group of students, this will be determined on an individual basis.
Question to the teacher: Which area of the unit is still bothersome?
(10 min.)
Assessment/Evaluation:
Student work on “Inertia and Mass” questions.
Materials Needed:
iPad, OLC, internet access, Apple TV, MetaMoji Note, calculators, physics classroom website, canary
flow student app.

SP1. Students will analyze the relationships between force, mass, gravity, and the motion of objects.
a. Calculate average velocity, instantaneous velocity, and acceleration in a given frame of reference.
b. Compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities.
c. Compare graphically and algebraically the relationships among position, velocity, acceleration, and time.
d. Measure and calculate Newton’s three laws of motion.
Learning Goal:
Students will complete unit review problems and apply all formulas and concepts.
Kickoff/Activating Strategy:
KO: Can you determine the distance an object travels if only given initial velocity, time and
acceleration? Give your reasoning.
(5 min.)
Teaching Strategies:
Procedures/Technology/
Distribution of review problems and formula sheet.
Teacher serves as a facilitator to help students in the review process.
Performance Tasks:
(35 min.)
Summarizing Strategy:
(10 min.)
Differentiation: Students work in a collaborative environment.
Student choice WC – students pick one problem as a class to break apart and solve with the help of
the teacher.
Assessment/Evaluation:
Kickoff, student work
Materials Needed:
iPad, internet access, OLC, Apple TV, MetaMoji Note, calculators, physics classroom website,
canary flow student app.

a greater influence on how fast the object falls?
