Wednesday, April 8th: Newton's Laws Scavenger Hunt

First, check your answers to yesterday's practice problems here: 
Answer Key


Newton’s laws are at work all around us all the time!  

Grab your phone and seek out some examples. 

Directions:

• Take a photo or video to model each of Newton’s Laws. Have fun and be creative!

• For each photo, write a brief description that identifies which law you are modeling and how the situation you photographed fits that law. 

• If you can’t take or send pictures or videos, that’s ok.  You can write down and describe examples of Newton’s three laws.

• Send your examples to Ms. Dolan.  Email adolan@hccs481.org or Instagram ms.dolans_science 

• In your message, please let me know if it is ok to share your pictures with your classmates.

Example:

Newton's First Law:  
An object (or cat) at rest will remain at rest until acted on by another force. 

Newton's Second Law:
 It will take less force (strength) to accelerate (lift) the 12 pound weight on the left.
It will take more force (strength) to accelerate (lift) the 35 pound kettle bell on the right.
Force = Mass x Acceleration

Newton's Third Law:
When the tennis ball hits the floor,
the floor will hit the ball with equal and opposite force,
making the ball bounce.
