Applying Newton’s Third Law

Performance Expectation 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, between a meteor and a space vehicle.

Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law Explore Students will perform an experiment with a marble, ramp, and displacement block. They will measure the amount of displacement in cm vs mass of the marbles.

Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law Explain Students will create a graph showing the relationship between the number of marbles and the displacement of the block.

Lesson – Applying Newton’s Third Law Elaborate Create a device to help protect consumers in an accident given a limited amount of material. Students will be allowed to choose from the following materials: Cardboard, Styrofoam cup, packing peanuts, or bubble wrap. Every group will receive tape.
