What educators are saying
I used this with my students as we discussed Newton's Laws. The activities helped students "see" the concepts.

Description
EASY PREP Newton's 3rd Law lab stations with EASY SUPPLIES! Students play with common supplies to experience one of Newton's Laws of Motion firsthand. Easy and engaging!
⭐ Get this activity in our NEWTON'S LAWS UNIT at 40% OFF! ⭐
In this activity, students will:
- MOVE THROUGH 6 STATIONS. The station cards lead them independently through 6 simple activities. Each activity demonstrates Newton's 3rd law in a different way.
- COMPLETE THE STUDENTS SHEET. As they visit each station, students complete a student sheet with analysis questions.
Supply List: 2 spring scales, 10 pennies, flexible straws, pins, pencils with erasers, balloons, tape, 2 bathroom scales, 2 soda cans, string, bucket or sink, scissors
Many of these supplies can easily be substituted for something similar. And, there's enough content here that if you need to skip a station due to supplies, the students will still have a solid hands-on experience with Newton's Third Law with the remaining stations.
P.S. This is NOT just another balloon rocket activity!

NGSSMS-PS2-2
Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Emphasis is on balanced (Newton’s First Law) and unbalanced forces in a system, qualitative comparisons of forces, mass and changes in motion (Newton’s Second Law), frame of reference, and specification of units. Assessment is limited to forces and changes in motion in one-dimension in an inertial reference frame, and to change in one variable at a time. Assessment does not include the use of trigonometry.
NGSSMS-PS2-1
Apply Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. Examples of practical problems could include the impact of collisions between two cars, between a car and stationary objects, and between a meteor and a space vehicle. Assessment is limited to vertical or horizontal interactions in one dimension.
