In the following interactive students will begin to define net force, external force, and system and understand Newton's second law of motion. They will also apply Newton's second law to determine the weight of an object.

This video describes Newton's three laws of motion and how they relate to the everyday motion of a bicycle. [3:33] Followed by a short quiz and a list of additional resources to explore.

In this lesson, students watch a video and animations that relate Isaac Newton's three laws of motion to baseball and apply what they've learned about these laws to another sport or other real-life situation. It includes formative and...

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces, and Newton's three laws of motion.

Can you describe and explain all Newton's Laws of Motion? This exercise has students testing their knowledge of the Laws of Motion with this quiz.

Students are introduced to Newton's third law of motion, and then learn that engineers apply Newton's third law and an understanding of reaction forces when designing a wide range of creations, from rockets and aircraft to door knobs,...

This lecture covers Newton's three laws of motion. You can watch the lecture on video or listen to audio. A transcript of the lecture and practice problems are also provided.

Assess your understanding of Newton's three laws of motion and the ability to distinguish between the three with this interactive multiple choice quiz. Receive immediate feedback to your answers.

This lesson will approach the study of Newton's 3 Laws of Motion using McGraw-Hill Science textbook Unit F. The students will be given an overview of the laws and vocabulary words to study. After introducing and explaining the concept of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Apply mathematic equations to determine the effects of forces on objects as well as the law of inertia.

Students are introduced to the concepts of force, inertia, and Newton's first law of motion: objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.This lesson is the first in a series...

This lesson introduces Newton's first law of motion otherwise known as the law of inertia. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's First Law of Motion."

Through interactive practice problems and examples, students explore Kepler's Three Laws of Planetary Motion.

Great hands on way to explain Newton's Second Law of Motion. Choose from three different Newtonian physics machines to build and test Newton's Second Law.

Describes the logic behind the development of Newton's law of universal gravitation. Beginning with Johannes Kepler and his three laws of planetary motion, content walks the reader through Newton's thought process and development of this...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Break down how the relationship between acceleration and mass directly relates to the mass of an object.

In this elementary physics investigation, students explore Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: To every action there is an equal & opposite reaction. Pairs of students will line up 5 pennies, (touching each other), between 2 rulers. The row...

In this investigation, students will learn that speed, velocity, and changes in velocity are the result of the action of forces on objects such as friction. They will be able to explain how the force of friction opposes motion by...

This lesson introduces Newton's second law of motion. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Newton's Second Law of Motion."

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will learn to describe and calculate how the magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects depends on their masses and...

This site from Fordham University links to excerpts of Newton's major works. Please scroll down to find the section on Newton titled "The Creation of Classical Physics." You will be able to actually read some of Newton's work! Read...

This lecture explains Kepler's Three Laws of motion. Application of these laws are made to planetary movements around the sun. The lecture is available in multiple formats (audio, video, written transcript). Practice problems are also...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand why for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As students begin to understand the physics behind thrust, drag, and gravity and how these relate these to Newton's three laws of motion, groups assemble and launch the rockets that they designed in the associated lesson.
