The 'big idea' I feel that is important for student's to understand is actually a topic we covered quite in depth throughout this course. I feel it is important for student's to understand the difference between Newton's three laws, and it is important for student's to understand what these three laws explain. Student's need to understand the concepts of motion, acceleration, gravity, force, etc. These are all physical science aspects that student's encounter everyday so it would be very beneficial if student's could learn and apply this knowledge to the real-world.
I found a few sites that I feel are very user friendly, and that would benefit my students if they interacted with the site. These sites are http://teachertech.rice.edu/Participants/louviere/Newton/ and http://www.physics4kids.com/files/motion_laws.html. Both sites are easy to interact with, and student's can take short quizzes to see how well they are understanding Newton's three laws of motion.
