Young scholars build and launch match-stick rockets in order to experience Newton's Third Law of motion.

Students conduct an experiment that will reinforce their understanding of Newton's Second Law. Using simple objects, students control force, mass, and acceleration, and how each is related to each other.

For this activity students simulate the movement of cargo in the bed of a truck in order to experience Newton's first law of motion.

This lab can be used to introduce Newton's 3rd Law of motion - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (of the same magnitude). In this exercise, students use miniature explosives to analyze actions and reactions.

For this lab activity, students investigate the effects of changing force on the acceleration of a lab cart testing Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will use distance and time to calculate velocity and create a graph representing...

This lesson focuses on Newton's Second Law including the formula Force = mass to the x power acceleration, an example of how to calculate the force needed to accelerate based on mass, and a link to a test.
