This lab was designed to have students investigate the factors that affect the acceleration of an object on a frictionless horizontal surface. The simulation will give the students position vs. time data and they will have to determine...

Newton's First Law also called the law of inertia is the most important thing to realize about motion. This article offers more information on motion and explains solved problems involving Newton's First Law. Also included is a video...

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.

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

Students learn why and how motion occurs and what governs changes in motion, as described by Newton's three laws of motion. They gain hands-on experience with the concepts of forces, changes in motion, and action and reaction. In an...

In this lesson, students will explore motion, rockets and rocket motion while assisting Spacewoman Tess, Spaceman Rohan and Maya in their explorations. They will first learn some basic facts about vehicles, rockets and why we use them....

In 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 their...

This article helps students learn about Newton's laws of motion and the properties of force.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand why for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The funny thing about friction is that you couldn't get anywhere without it, yet it still acts to slow you down as you're getting there. Here is an easy project to measure the effects of friction.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about Newton's third law of motion, calculations in two dimensions, and the interaction of multiple objects in the context of a horse pulling a cart.

Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket.

From a chapter on Linear Momentum and Collisions in a Physics textbook. This section of the chapter discusses Newton's third law of motion in the context of rocket and jet engine propulsion. Students learn how to calculate a rocket's...

By the end of this section, you will be able to state Newton's third law of motion, explain the principle involved in propulsion of rockets and jet engines, derive an expression for the acceleration of the rocket , discuss the factors...
