Teaching Resources
The Physics Classroom has been devoted to helping students, teachers, and classrooms since the 1990s. We are as passionate about that mission now as we have ever been. If you are a teacher of Physics or Physical Science, we encourage you to use our Video Tutorial with your students. And we also encourage you to consider the use of other resources on our website that coordinate with the video. We have listed a few below to help you get started.
Teacher Toolkits: Newton's First Law
Teacher Toolkits provide teachers a collection of annotated links to vetted resources on the internet that are standards-based and multimedia reliant. This particular Toolkit is on Newton's First Law and should assist a teacher in finding resources for planning lessons that are next steps to this video.
Curriculum Corner: Newton's Laws Chapter
The Curriculum Corner provides classroom-ready Think Sheets that fuel great in-class discussions. The think sheets on
Preconceptions and the one on
Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces might be great follow-ups to this video tutorial.
Concept Builders- Newton's Laws
Students love Concept Builders and you will find plenty of them in our Newton's Laws section of the Concept Builders. They make for great reinforcement of in-class activities.
Physics Classroom Tutorial - Newton's Laws Chapter, Lesson 1
Our Physics Classroom Tutorial has been the backbone of our webiste for more than two decades. It has a proven record of explaining hard-to-understand concepts in an easy-to-understand language. Lesson 1 of the Newton's Laws chapter provides exceptional support to this video lesson.
