Newton's Third Law of Motion Lesson Plan

Are you in need of some great action-reaction examples of Newton’s Third Law of Motion?

Do you need a hands-on activity that is low-prep and won’t break the bank?

Searching for some unique supplementals to add to your student’s interactive notebooks or science notes?

This COMPLETE LESSON PLAN has it all!

What happens when an unknotted, inflated balloon is released? The balloon flies all over the place! This phenomenon is an example of Newton’s Third Law. Examine action-reaction pairs of forces in real-world situations. Readers will find the examples of action and reaction easy to understand, relate to, and remember. At the end of the comic, there is a fun activity involving balloons and harnessing their “power” to create balloon rockets.
