Newton's Third Law of Motion Activity

Teach your students about Newton's 3rd law of motion through these science worksheets, digital Google Slides, and a hands-on activity. First, students will read to learn that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Then they will answer the guided reading comprehension questions to demonstrate their knowledge of Newton's Third Law of Motion. Finally, students will work in cooperative hands on groups to see this law in motion by creating their own version of a hot air balloon. Students will be able to observe the different aspects of force, mass, acceleration, paired forces, and action - reaction forces.
