Chapter 12.2 Newton's 1st and 2nd Laws of Motion

Read Chapter 12.2 Newton's 1st & 2nd Laws of Motion
Outline the reading in your Science Notebook & include major points and diagrams/tables.
You should focus on the following essential questions:
-How does Newton's first law relate change in motion to a zero net force
- How does Newton's second law relate force, mass, and acceleration
- How are weight and mass related
