Science experiments showing Isaac Newton's laws

 Isaac Newton's third law is shown here. The wall and gutter board are pushing back with equal force on the balls Alex, Nathan and Jamie are throwing.

 This is Isaac Newton's first law: which is; if left alone a moving object carries on moving in a straight line until another force makes it change direction. Here the foam rockets are thrown at the red target, but the force called gravity takes over and pulls the foam rocket to the ground.

Here Isaac Newton's second law which is; when a force is applied to an object it moves. Here Audriana and Randal have applied a force to soft, round balls, they move.

Isaac Newton visits Room 5

On Wednesday, Room 5 had a special guest come and visit them for Inquiry. Our special guest was Sir Isaac Newton, who travelled in time to teach us his Three Laws of Motion. 

In this photo, Isaac Newton and Lily are demonstrating the Third Law. The Third Law is 'Objects always push back with equal force'. 

In this photo, Isaac with some of Room 5's students are rolling the balls into the goal. This shows the 

Second Law, which is 'When a force is applied to an object it moves'. Abby and Nikhil's hands were the force that moved the balls. 

Izzy and Eden S are flicking the counters to get closest to the target. They are showing the First Law ' If left alone a moving object carries on moving in a straight line until another force makes it change direction or stop'. 

Sir Isaac Newton taught us a lot about his Three Laws of Motion and we got to experiment and see how these work.  

Thank you Isaac Newton :)
