Monday

Phenomenon / Launch

The same force produces different accelerations for different masses.

Learning target

Build an initial model and explanation for: How do Newton's laws connect forces and acceleration?

Evidence task

Record observations, questions, an initial model, and one claim that could be tested. Use these concepts where relevant: Newton 1; Newton 2; Newton 3; mass; acceleration.

Tuesday

Concept & Model Revision

Study and explain the week's core ideas: Newton 1; Newton 2; Newton 3; mass; acceleration

Reading

Open text on Newton's laws.

Evidence task

Revise Monday's model. Add two evidence-backed annotations and explain one limitation or uncertainty.

Wednesday

Data & Quantitative Reasoning

F=ma and proportional reasoning.

Evidence task

Show units, setup, calculation or graph reasoning, then write what the quantitative evidence can and cannot establish about: How do Newton's laws connect forces and acceleration?

Thursday

Investigation / Engineering

Low-force cart simulation or virtual lab.

Safety boundary

Use the course safety charter. If supervision, facilities, materials, or conditions are not appropriate, use the supplied-data/simulation alternative rather than improvising hazardous procedures.

Evidence task

Record variables or design constraints, procedure/model, observations/data, and one revision you would make after reviewing the evidence.

Friday

CER / Synthesis

Answer the essential question: How do Newton's laws connect forces and acceleration?

Mastery evidence

Submit a claim, at least two specific pieces of evidence, reasoning that connects them, one limitation/counterclaim, and a correction note for any essential concept below 80%.

Portfolio

Select one artifact from this week and explain why it is trustworthy evidence of growth.
