SPLISH, SPLASH!

Sir Isaac Newton's first law of 
motion states that objects at 
rest will remain at rest and 
objects moving in a straight line 
will continue in a stragiht line 
unless acted upon by an outside 
force.  To demonstrate this we 
conducted a relay race by running 
between two teams with a bowl 
containing water and a golf 
ball.  The bowl remained at rest 
until the students transferred 
energy to them and moved them.  
They remained in motion until the 
students placed them on the 
ground.  What a fun way to 
demonstrate this concept!

MOVE THAT TRUCK!

Sir Isaac Newton's second law of 
motion states that it takes more 
force to move an object with 
greater mass than one with less 
mass.  Student groups were 
provided a toy truck with a cup 
suspended from the front, 
pennies, and paper clips to test 
this law.  They used pennies to 
add mass to the truck, predicted 
the number of paper clips that 
would need to be placed in the 
cup to move the truck, then found 
the actual number it took.  There 
was no doubt in their minds that  
it takes more force to move 
an object with a greater mass!

Shelby, Hayden, Steven, and Eden 
try their hands at moving the 
truck.

HOW MANY PAPER CLIPS?

Chad, Madison, Riley, Corbin, and 
Matthew try to decide how many 
paper clips they need to move the 
truck.

MOVE, TRUCK, MOVE!

Josie, Ariel, and Abby try to 
move their truck!

SUCCESS, AT LAST!

Abby, Gracyn, Michael, and Trent 
are finally successful in moving 
their truck!

WE DID IT!

Maurice, Lauren, Samantha, and 
Emily say WE DID IT!

WHAT, MORE PAPER CLIPS!

Brandon, Adrian, Megan, and 
Braydon can't believe they need 
more paper clips!
