Crashing into Newton's Third Law: Exploring Collisions and Action-Reaction Forces
by Kenn Patrick Bulaso
This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts involved. The objective of the lesson is to provide a practical understanding of the physics involved in collisions, and why safety features are important in cars.
