Newton's Laws of Motion Middle School Unit - This physical science unit is specifically designed for Middle School science and covers the NGSS MS-PS2-1, MS-PS2-2 and S.7.7.D TEKS.

It is meant to be done over 4-6 days and includes a presentation on all three laws, an activity for Newton's First Law, a student-led lab on Newton's Second Law, an activity that covers Newton's Third Law, as well as a worksheet on all three laws that can be used to check student understanding.

✅ Complete 4–6 Day Unit covering Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion

✅ Includes teacher + student presentations, lab, activities, worksheet

✅ Interactive with 3 videos, 3 simulations, and an exit ticket

✅ Ready-to-use in Google Slides, Docs, Forms + PowerPoint/Word

Buyer Comment: "My students and I enjoyed this resource, thank you so much!"

The lesson starts by describing forces and net force. It then covers each law while providing simple, practical examples of each along with simulation activities that are built right into your lesson. Your students will utilize the simulations to see the laws in action as well as answer questions about them. These can be done individually, in small groups, or as a class activity.

NGSS: The material is all explained at the appropriate level using simplified terminology and examples. The emphasis is on the main ideas of the laws using diagrams and simulations. It does not utilize math to quantify results or answer calculation questions.

The lesson content includes:

• Forces and Net Force
• Newton’s First Law
• Newton’s Second Law
• Newton’s Third Law
• Multiple Applications for Each Law

Included in the lesson package:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• THREE embedded videos
• Student-Led Lab
• 4 Class Activities
• One Worksheet
• An auto-graded Exit Ticket
• Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Exit Ticket

Included in your package is an Exit Ticket which can be directly accessed from the last Google Slide. Additionally, your purchase will create a copy of the Google Form Exit Ticket which you can edit to meet your class needs.
