The Function of Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion on a Rocket
Students spend time learning about Newton's 3 Laws of Motion, but can they correctly identify which one is being used when they see it? This lesson focuses on identifying each Law of Motion as a rocket launches. Students will learn the vocabulary neccessary for engineering a rocket, and then learn about each law and their function during a launch. They will then create their own bottle rockets and be able to define when each Law of Motion occurs during the rocket's take off.

When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee
Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
