Students play with common supplies to experience one of Newton’s Laws of Motion firsthand. Easy and engaging!
In this activity, students will:
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!
