Do Now: What do you know about NASA and the space program?
What have you heard about the Apollo 13 mission? What was going on in the United States politically at that time (1970)? Watch the movie Apollo 13 to use it as examples of Newton's laws of gravity and motion as well as how the crew and controllers on the ground used engineering to solve the problems that occurred during the mission. Students will use this handout to record questions during the movie and find examples demonstrating Newton's laws in the movie and during the mission. A firm understanding of Newton's laws of motion and Universal gravity were essential to the design and actions they took to get the astronauts home during the mission. Ticket out: If you were given a free ride into space on one of the current rockets that go into space, would you go? Why or why not?
