Newton's First Law of Motion is often called the law of inertia. This law is everywhere in our daily lives. Here are some simple examples that show how it works:

1. Cars and Speeding Up: When you’re in a car that suddenly speeds up, your body wants to stay still because of inertia. This is why you feel pushed back into your seat. It’s just your body trying to resist the change in movement!

2. Seatbelts: Have you ever thought about why seatbelts are so important? They are designed to keep you safe by fighting against inertia. If the car stops suddenly or gets into a crash, and you’re not wearing a seatbelt, you would keep moving forward at the same speed you were going. That’s because of inertia!

3. Throwing a Ball: When you throw a ball, it keeps going in the same direction until something else, like gravity or air, makes it stop. This is why a ball thrown in space keeps flying forever unless something stops it.

So, the next time you’re in a car or throwing a ball, remember how Newton's First Law is happening all around you!
