About this printable
Students copy each of Newton's three laws of motion while learning what inertia, acceleration, and action-reaction really mean. The wording is short and plain so young writers can focus on neat letters. A tidy way to pair physics review with handwriting practice. 12 pages, 3/8-inch letters in manuscript print on dashed manuscript lines. Sheets included: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
ON THIS SHEET: 1. The Law of Inertia · An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion keeps moving at the same speed in the same direction, unless an outside force acts on it. — 2. The Law of Acceleration · The force acting on an object equals its mass times its acceleration. · Force = mass x acceleration · A heavier object needs more force to speed it up the same amount. — 3. The Law of Action and Reaction · For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object pushes on another, the second object pushes back just as hard. — LETTER SIZE: 3/8-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
