Whack-a-Stack

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Go wild as you hit a stack of wooden blocks to demonstrate Newton's first and second laws of motion. The blocks at the top of the stack stay put as you knock one at a time out of the bottom. Note, however, that you will need to visit a hardware or home improvement store to have them cut a two-by-four for you if you do not have the means of doing so yourself.
