  • 1Recall the definition of Newton's First Law of motion and identify examples from prior learning
  • 2Ask learners: What happens to a trotro when the driver suddenly hits the brakes? Learners whisper their answer to their partner first, then volunteers share aloud
  • APPLYING NEWTON'S FIRST LAW IN EVERYDAY GHANAIAN SITUATIONS
  • 1Write on the board: Newton's First Law — An object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts on it; an object at rest stays at rest unless a force acts on it. Read this aloud and ask learners to copy into their books. Using the Textbook, turn to the page on motion and have learners identify three real-life examples written there
  • 2Display the Chart/diagram showing a vehicle with a seat belt and a vehicle without one during sudden braking. Ask: Why do passengers lurch forward when a trotro stops suddenly? Guide learners to see that their bodies want to continue moving (inertia) until the seat belt applies a force to stop them. Learners draw and label this scenario in their books with a one-sentence explanation using the words 'force' and 'inertia'
  • 3Struggling learners: provide a partially completed diagram with labels to fill in; focus on seat belt example only.
  • 1Textbook (motion section)
  • 2Chart/diagram (vehicle with and without seat belt during braking)
  • 1Ask learners to stand and mime two situations: (1) a body at rest being pushed into motion, (2) a moving body being stopped by a force. Invite pairs to perform while others guess which law is shown
  • 2Learners compare their written explanations with a partner sitting next to them and correct any missing words using the definition on the board
Exercise
  • 1Yakubu is riding his bicycle fast when he suddenly applies the brakes. Explain what happens to Yakubu's body and why, using the words 'Newton's First Law', 'inertia', and 'force' in one or two sentences in your exercise books.
