Newton's First Law: interactive html page

An interactive, standalone HTML resource covering Newton’s First Law of Motion, designed for whole-class interactive whiteboard demonstrations, individual student practice (iPads, laptops, chromebooks), or low-prep cover work.

Zero setup required: simply double-click the file to run directly in any web browser without an internet connection or software installation.

Key Features
• Interactive Simulations: Visually demonstrates Newton’s First Law, tackling the common misconception that objects need continuous force to stay in motion by modeling vehicles with and without resistive forces and thrust.
• Inertia Rocket Game: Students use short bursts of thrust to maneuver, dock, or stop a rocket, reinforcing that velocity remains constant unless an external force acts.
• Submarine Challenge (Reward Game): Locked behind self-marking checkpoint questions to motivate mastery of balanced vs. unbalanced forces.
• Differentiated Self-Assessment: Two tiers of multiple-choice questions complete with instant explanatory feedback for each option.
• Misconception Buster: Explicitly addresses why everyday objects appear to slow down on their own.
