CLIL Unit 2 Focus on Maths and Physics: Mass, force and velocity 1 Choose the correct option. 1 2 3 4 5 6

The mass / gravity / velocity of an object is expressed in kilograms. If an object is displaced / dense / pointed, then it has a very big mass for its size. A force / mass / shape is an influence on an object that makes it change in movement or shape. If an object accelerates / decelerates / is stationary, it starts to move less quickly. If an object accelerates / decelerates / is stationary, it starts to move more quickly. Gravity / Density / Velocity is another word for speed.

2 Read the sentences about Newton’s laws. Then match three of the laws to the diagrams that represent them below. Which law is not represented? 1 Isaac Newton’s first law of motion states that objects stay in the same position or continue to move at a constant velocity unless a force is applied to them. 2 Isaac Newton’s law of gravity states that objects accelerate towards the ground as a result of the turning of the Earth. 3 Isaac Newton’s second law of motion states that the greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration. 4 Newton's third law of motion states that when two objects interact, they exert forces on each other.

3 Match the two halves of the quotations attributed to Isaac Newton. Discuss with a partner what you think Isaac Newton meant by each quotation. 1 2 3 4 5

If I have seen further than others, I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, What we know is a drop, Gravity explains the motions of the planets, You have to make the rules,

A B C D E

what we don't know is an ocean. but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion. it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. not follow them. but not the madness of people.

4 Find out more about Isaac Newton’s discoveries. Do research and write short answers to these questions. Compare them with a partner. 1 2 3 4

What’s an example of Isaac Newton’s third law of motion? What was his work the Principia about and why was it important? What area of Mathematics did he invent? What subjects and areas is this type of Mathematics used in? How did he contribute to the world of astronomy?
