About this reader
This NGSS-aligned passage introduces middle school students to the newton (N), the standard unit of force in the metric system. It explains that force is a push or pull, and that one newton is the force needed to accelerate a 1-kilogram object at 1 meter per second squared. The passage connects the unit to Sir Isaac Newton and his laws of motion, helping students understand how force, mass, and acceleration are related through the equation Force = Mass × Acceleration. Real-world examples, such as lifting objects or pushing carts, make the concept more relatable. This reading supports physical science comprehension and reinforces key NGSS performance expectations for MS-PS3-5.
