Format
Students will investigate a variety of situations and discover how forces act in pairs. They will witness live demonstrations from the Lab Director that will deepen their understanding of this topic and also show how Newton’s third law of motion occurs in rockets as they launch into space. After core concepts are demonstrated and reviewed, each team will present a report for the class and Lab Director. Students will also conduct a lab experiment following instructions given by the lab director.
Objectives
Participants will develop an understanding about equal and opposite forces and how gravity has an effect. They will experience many demonstrations and be required to make observations and work collaboratively with their team to prepare a report for the Lab Director.
