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 plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).
