Newton’s Third Law of Motion Mini Unit Resources
Students explore bouncing balls and construct their own meaning of Newton’s 3rd law of motion. They identify the laws of motion at work during their favorite sport or activity. Then, students use their understanding of the laws to design a space vehicle carrying sensitive equipment (an egg) that can withstand collisions with large asteroids (basketballs)!
