The Function of Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion on a Rocket
Students spend time learning about Newton's 3 Laws of Motion, but can they correctly identify which one is being used when they see it? This lesson focuses on identifying each Law of Motion as a rocket launches. Students will learn the vocabulary neccessary for engineering a rocket, and then learn about each law and their function during a launch. They will then create their own bottle rockets and be able to define when each Law of Motion occurs during the rocket's take off.

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
In this hands-on lesson, students identify Newton’s Laws of Motion, analyze the difference between force and motion, compare balloon car designs with group mates and demonstrate how to design and test
This is a 5th grade force and motion lesson plan. It uses roller coasters to help students develop real-life connections to the ideas of motions, and balanced & unbalanced forces. It allows them to
