3.3 1st Law of Motion Notes

Covers the idea of inertia and gives examples of its presence in everyday life. This notes sheet comes with an (A) version that has blanks for students to fill out as well as a completed (B) version for students who are absent or may require accommodations.

3.3 Inertia Demo Stations Activity

This activity is much like a lab, although I don't call it that because it does not follow the scientific process. It is more like a hands-on practice sheet. Students rotate to different stations and perform tasks while answering questions. The tasks are all designed to demonstrate inertia - an object staying at rest or staying in motion.
