concepts include:
b) Newtons laws of motion
Activity After an introductory lesson on Newtons laws of
motion which are:
1) An object at rest stays at rest and an object
in motion stays in motion with the same
speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2) Force is equal to the change in momentum
(mV) per change in time. For a constant
mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
F=ma.
3) For every action, there is an equal and
opposite re-action.
The student will demonstrate their understanding
of Newtons laws by using the Mindomo
application to create a mind map of the laws of
motion. Mindomo is a free application where
students can sign up to create and share mind

maps. When they create their mind map, they will
include a description of each law, an example of
that law and any accompanied formulas. This mind

b) Newtons laws of motion
After the students have created their individual
mind maps on Mindomo, the students will then be
broken up into 3 groups. Each group will be
assigned one of Newtons 3 laws of motion which
are:
1) An object at rest stays at rest and an object
in motion stays in motion with the same
speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2) Force is equal to the change in momentum
(mV) per change in time. For a constant
mass, force equals mass times acceleration.
F=ma.
3) For every action, there is an equal and
opposite re-action.
Along with each law of motion will be an
accompanied experiment to test each law.
Each group will use the Realtime Board application

map will serve as a beginning template in which
they can build upon as they continue with future
lessons for this subject. It will also serve as a useful
study guide as they will be able to visually organize
the information.
The teacher will deliver the introductory lesson for
Newtons 3 Laws of Motion. The teacher will also
explain and demonstrate these three laws to give
the students a better understanding of these laws.
While the students are creating their individual
mind maps, the teacher will review and guide the
students to ensure the information within their
maps are accurate. The teacher will also answer
any questions with regards to the use of the app as
well as any additional questions about the lesson.

which they will present to the class at the end of
the week. Each group will investigate and test each
law by performing the assigned experiment and
use scientific investigation method to: 1) Ask a
question, 2) Make a hypothesis, 3) Plan the
investigation, 3) Test the hypothesis 4) Conclusion
or explanation of results.
Every member of the team will be required to take
notes, collaborate, discuss, observe, and create the
presentation on their findings via Realtime Board.
During the duration of this project, the teacher will
provide a brief tutorial of the Realtime Board
application, divide class into 3 groups, assign each
group a Newton Law, ensure the class has a clear
understanding of the project and provide guidance
and support when needed.
