  • 1Recall examples of Newton's First Law of motion from prior knowledge and everyday observations
  • 2Show a video clip or image of a trotro suddenly braking; ask learners to whisper to their partner what happens to passengers and why
  • NEWTON'S FIRST LAW AND REAL-LIFE APPLICATIONS
  • 1Using the Textbook and Chart/diagram, read and display the definition: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force. Learners copy into exercise books
  • 2Demonstrate with a Science kit/specimen (e.g. rolling a ball across a smooth table until it hits a book). Ask: What force stopped the ball? Learners discuss in pairs and one representative from each group answers
  • 3Present three Ghanaian scenarios on the Chart/diagram: (1) Seat belt safety in a trotro during sudden braking; (2) A metallic ball pushed on a smooth floor stopping only at a wall; (3) A kaya trader's load shifting when the trotro jerks. Learners match each scenario to Newton's First Law and explain in exercise books which scenario best shows inertia
  • 1Textbook
  • 2Science kit/specimens (ball, smooth surface, barrier)
  • 3Chart/diagram showing Newton's First Law definition and scenarios
  • 4Exercise book
  • 1Learners stand and mime three actions: (1) a passenger sliding forward when a trotro brakes (inertia in motion), (2) a ball rolling until blocked (force stops motion), (3) sitting still until pushed (force starts motion)
  • 2Ask volunteers to explain aloud why wearing a seat belt in a shared taxi prevents injury during sudden stops, using Newton's First Law
Exercise
  • 1Kofi rides his bicycle and suddenly applies the brakes. Explain why his body continues to move forward briefly after the bicycle stops, using Newton's First Law in their exercise books.
