Newton's Second Law Virtual Labs
This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a virtual lab for students to discover some of the mathematical relationships involved in Newton's Second Law. Before starting the second virtual lab, students will watch a video and answer questions to allow for access for students to better understand the relationship. Students will then investigate the law further, including graphing the relationship between mass and acceleration to further support student understanding before explicitly learning the law in future lessons.

This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea
This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.
This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks
