### Lesson Structure:
#### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Objective Overview:**
- Welcome the students and introduce today’s lesson.
- Briefly outline the key topics: Mechanics (Newton’s Laws) and Electromagnetism (Coulomb's Law, Lorentz Force).
2. **Hook/Starter Activity:**
- Show a short video clip demonstrating everyday applications of Newton’s Laws (e.g., car crash tests) and electromagnetism (e.g., MRI machines, electric motors).
- Ask students to identify what physical principles are being demonstrated in the video.
#### Mechanics: Newton’s Laws of Motion (30 minutes)
3. **Presentation (10 minutes):**
- Review Newton’s Three Laws of Motion with real-life examples.
- **First Law (Inertia):** An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.
- **Second Law (F=ma):** Force is equal to mass times acceleration.
- **Third Law:** For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
4. **Group Activity (20 minutes):**
- Distribute worksheets with problems related to Newton’s Laws, e.g., calculating forces, accelerations, and interpreting motion graphs.
- Divide the students into small groups and let them work on the problems together.
- Encourage discussion within the groups and assist as needed.
#### Electromagnetism: Basic Principles (30 minutes)
5. **Presentation and Demonstration (10 minutes):**
- Introduce Coulomb’s Law: \( F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} \) where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant, \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are the magnitudes of the charges, and \( r \) is the distance between the charges.
- Discuss the Lorentz Force concept: \( F = q(E + v \times B) \), where \( E \) is the electric field, \( v \) is the velocity of the charge, and \( B \) is the magnetic field.
- Conduct a demonstration showing the basic interaction between electric charges (e.g., using charged rods and small light objects) and electromagnetic fields (e.g., using magnets and coils).
6. **Hands-On Lab Activity (20 minutes):**
- Set up different stations with electromagnetism experiments.
- Station 1: Measure the force between charged objects and compare it to Coulomb’s Law.
- Station 2: Deflect a stream of particles with a magnetic field to observe the Lorentz Force.
- Rotate groups through each station, ensuring each student participates in the experiments.
- Have students record their observations and results in their lab notebooks.
#### Conclusion and Q&A (10 minutes)
7. **Summary:**
- Recap the key points covered in the lesson.
- Highlight how these physics principles apply to various technologies and phenomena in the real world.
8. **Question and Answer Session:**
- Open the floor for any questions the students might have regarding the day’s lesson.
- Offer clarification and additional explanations as needed.
9. **Assignment:**
- Assign problems from the textbook focusing on Newton’s Laws and basic electromagnetism principles to reinforce today's lesson.
- Optional: Encourage students to research a technological application involving electromagnetism (e.g., how MRI machines work) and prepare a short presentation.
---
### Assessment:
- Formative: Observe student participation and understanding during group activities and hands-on lab work.
- Summative: Evaluate the homework problems and the optional presentation to assess comprehension and application of the topics.
