Pbs Learning Media: Newton's Third Law of Motion: Astronauts in Outer Space

And they are off! Using Styrofoam meat trays and balloons, individuals build racers that demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion. Pupils run their racers three times and make improvements between each trial. To conclude the activity,...

How do the laws of physics work in microgravity? Astronaut Mark Vande Hei explores Newton's third law of motion as part of the "STEM on Station" series. Learners then explore Newton's third law further by building rocket racers and...

A Newton is approximately the weight of an apple, so force is measured in apples! Apply Newton's Second Law of Motion to determine the force acting on an object. 

What happens when two teens collide? Find out when RJ runs into Chloe in the school hallway! After their collision, they discuss Newton's third law of motion. Their collision is replayed a few times to identify the action and reaction of...

In the following interactive students will begin to understand Newton's third law of motion and also apply it to define systems and solve problems of motion.

How do rockets take off? A scientist explains as he launches a "Shaw Rocket" along a line. The explosion of the fuel causes an equal and opposite reaction, which is the movement of the rocket. There are videos by the same creator on...

A scientist performs an engaging experiment to demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion. He puts a blow-torch to a Hero's Engine to create steam, which sets the apparatus spinning. He explains that in space where nothing would act on it...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students find out about Newton's Third Law of Motion, and explore situations involving multiple objects.

Give your class some inertia with a far out video and multiple-choice questions about Newton's first law of motion. Several examples are given in an animated feature in a style that upper-elementary learners will enjoy.

This is the first clip in a two-part series on Newton's First Law of Motion. Excellent examples and comprehensive explanations truly describe this law of motion. View part two for even more good teaching.
