G8 SCIENCE LESSONS

2. The students are expected to:
• state Newton’s first law of motion and
explain what it means
relate inertia to mass
• cite situations where the law of inertia
applies.

3. • Perform the activity..
• 1. Place the paper on the edge of a table
or countertop with most of the paper off
the surface.
• 2. Stack the washers on top of the paper.

4. • Perform the activity..

washers.

5. •What comes to your
mind when you hear
the word “Inertia”?

7. • Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
• What is he most known for?
Activity 2 on inertia. The
Egg Drop challenge
•
Activity 2 on inertia. The Egg Drop challenge

8. Activity 2 on inertia
• The Egg Drop Challenge
• Relate the activity to
Newton’s first law of motion
and present it in the class.

9. • picture scenario
• Two children playing
soccer. One child
has kicked a soccer
ball toward the goal.
• The other child is
attempting to block
the goal.

10. Soccer Game
• 1.Write an explanation of how
Newton’s first law of motion is
being described or illustrated
by the soccer player kicking
the soccer ball.

11. • What puts objects into motion?
• How do they stop?
• What if there was never a force
that stopped the object from
moving?
• Why seatbelts, headrests, and
airbags in automobiles are vitally
important?

12. • Create a poster illustrating
first Newton’s Laws of Motion.
Give a copy of the rubric
before beginning the project.
Present poster to the class
next meeting.
