 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The goal of this unit is for students to know and be able to apply Newton's Three Laws of Motion. Students will learn how to use these laws along with their other knowledge of force and motion. Students will discover who Sir Isaac Newton was and what affects his research had on the scientific community. They will also see how Newton used research and data of other scientist in order to formulate these laws. Students will also explore how changes in the mass and acceleration of an object changes the force the object exerts, both on earth and in different gravitational fields. From this unit’s lessons and labs students will be able to see how Newton’s Three Laws of Motion can be applied to there every day actions, they will also see how the laws apply to space travel. In the end students will demonstrate their knowledge by creating and taping an experiment that demonstrates one of these three laws. ||
