Description
Simple activity using index card, cup, and coin to explore Newton's first law + idea of balanced vs unbalanced forces. Students draw force arrows + use the phenomena to explain the idea that objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion unless acted by an outside force.
Activity Sheet + optional slides available.

NGSSMS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units. Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame, and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.
