       Grade 9-Diploma Students will explore Newton's three laws of motion.** a. //Describe the contribution of Newton to our understanding of force and motion, and give examples of and apply Newtons three laws of motion and his theory of gravitation.//     Students will be hypothesizing what will happen when different actions take place during their experiment. I will be walking around the room to make sure that they are performing the experiments correctly. Before each experiment, I will ask a random student what their prediction is, and see if the class agrees. After each experiment, I will ask the class what they saw and make them explain why it happened. They will also be required to complete a worksheet that they compare with students in their groups to get the correct answers after they have tried them alone.   Students will be completing a lab report on Newton’s Second Law. It will be graded on each student’s understanding of the relationship of each force and the object. They will also be graded on their blog entries that will be completed as homework.  <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Language Arts: Students will be writing blogs entries that require word processing and writing skills. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Mathematics: Students will be completing a worksheet that has them using kinematic equations.

I will hand out a piece of colored construction paper to each person as they walk in the door. The colors will signify visible light wave length on a spectrometer. There will be four groups total, and each student will need to report at least one element on the periodic table that emits that color light wave in their homework blogs. The classroom will be set up in a horseshoe shape so that each student can see the board, and conversation is inward. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Absent students will be required to get the lab data from another student in the class and complete the lab report. They will be responsible for completing the lab and collecting two additional links in their blogs to show a thorough understanding of the material they missed. All make-up work must be completed the class following the absences. If the student misses more than one class period, case-by-case situations will be handled between the teacher and the student. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">In their blogs, my responses will send the student into more research or thoughtfulness. The idea is to differentiate to each student with the help of their blogs, and assess each student on their own level. They will answer my questions with a response to my comment, which has the requirements of a type II technology. I will use the blogs as a one-on-one engagement with the students. I will ask more challenging questions in my feedback to gifted students, and more basic questions to students who are having a harder time grasping the concepts. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Paper Writing Utensils Worksheet: to practice kinematics <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Newton’s Second Law Lab Large sheet <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">12 Eggs <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 Smart Pulleys <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 Ramps Student blog accounts 5 Motion detectors <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 Mass Kits <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 low-friction carts <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 Ring stands <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">5 Fan carts <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">Students will be using blogs throughout each lesson in the unit, and other students and I will respond to them with follow-up links, comprehension questions, and comments to provide feedback and scaffolding.

Each student will gain knowledge and confidence from the group work and intergroup work that will take place during this lesson. They will also continue to achieve higher understanding in the post-lesson dialogue on their blogs. I have made content notes for this lesson to include answer keys for the worksheet and an outline designed to introduce the Laws of Motion to a teacher who has not been introduced to the material beforehand. I have designed this lesson to be part of a unit that meets the Maine Learning Results and that differentiates towards each individual student’s learning style and multiple intelligences. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"">
