Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that lay the foundation for conventional mechanics. The laws represent relationships between a body and the forces acting upon it, and how the body responses to those forces. The concepts for many of my students are ambiguous, so I try to come up with projects that allow students to see, feel, and hear what the laws look like in a classroom labs. Over 300 students will come through and partake in labs, be allowed to gain insights by actively participating with hands-on demonstrations and contributing by helping fellow young scientist become confident with experiments in an active learning environment. Students experience the effects of inertia every day but seeing visually the First Law of Inertia through demonstration kits, allow the concept to solidify. Stem designed laboratory kits challenges students to explore Forces and Motion, solidifying the foundations of critical Physical Science concepts. Newtonian Demonstrator is an excellent device for demonstrating Newton’s Third Law of Motion and the principle of Conservation of Momentum. Cars and tracks will be hands on and every group would be able to demonstrate their knowledge of Newton's Laws. Inertia will be observed with a marble in motion around a circular track, students can then predict what path it will follow when a section of the track is removed. Having these items and enough for the entire class to participate is key to successful learning.
