This video introduces the concept of inertia by having students think about how the balls moves in soccer. It explains that anytime there is a change in motion it is due to a force, and inertia is what keeps an object sitting still or moving at a constant speed. There is a summary of the important information at the end, a list of essential vocabulary, and a quiz of the information from the video. This would be a great way to introduce and reinforce a lesson on inertia.

When, on March 4, 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was inaugurated as President, the United States was mired in the Great Depression with unemployment estimated at 25% and no social safety nets such as Social Security and unemployment insurance in place.

What he later named “The first 100 days” became a benchmark of presidential achievement.
