[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of inertia and how it applies to Newton's First Law. They also learn about Newton's Second Law and answer both numerical and conceptual...

A four-lesson e-textbook covering topics in Newton's Laws. Tutorials include informational text,animations, interactive activities, and quick, interactive comprehension checks throughout the lessons.

In this lesson, students watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation.

In the following interactive students will begin to understand and apply a problem-solving procedure to solve problems using Newton's laws of motion.

Students will build a multi-stage balloon rocket that they can launch across the classroom while learning about real space flight and Newton's laws of motion.

In this lab activity, students will become familiar with Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. By investigating the motion of different skateboarders pulled with a variety of constant force values, they will discover that bodies acted on by a...

In this activity, students will learn about Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. They will learn that the force required to move a book is proportional to the weight of the book. Engineers use this relationship to determine how much force they...

The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate Newton's third law of motion - which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction - through a small wooden car. The Newton cars show how action/reaction works and how the mass...

Step-by-step illustrated instructions showing how to drop four eggs into four cups without touching them. Demonstrates the concept of inertia according to Newton's first law of motion.

Students apply both kinematic principles and Newton's laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving in two dimensions, more specifically, the motion of projectiles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Using Newton's Law of Gravity and the equations of uniform circular motion, students solve problems involving the force of gravity.

Assess your understanding of Newton's three laws of motion and the ability to distinguish between the three with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Receive immediate feedback to your answers.

After a review of force, types of forces, and Newton's first law, students are introduced to Newton's second law of motion: force = mass x acceleration.

In this elementary physics investigation, young scholars explore Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: To every action there is an equal & opposite reaction. Pairs of students will line up 5 pennies, (touching each other), between 2 rulers....

Students learn what a pendulum is and how it works in the context of amusement park rides. While exploring the physics of pendulums, they are also introduced to Newton's first law of motion - about continuous motion and inertia.

Design your own virtual rocket, and then test launch it. Watch tutorials about Newton's laws of motion and rocket basics to help you improve your rocket's performance.

This video [12:28] shows how Newton's law of motion relates to the drag of an airplane. Watch as an instructor shows how the molecules colliding with the airplane create drag.

In this article, learn how rockets work. Discover Newton's Law of Motion and learn how it supports rocketry.

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

Without a seat belt, the rider of a motorcycle is more likely to maintain its state of motion after running into an obstacle. The animation here depicts this scenario.

By the end of this section, you will be able to define normal and tension forces, apply Newton's laws of motion to solve problems involving a variety of forces, and use trigonometric identities to resolve weight into components.
