Newton's Third Law - Tier 1

__** Part 1: The Physics Classroom **__ Follow the [|LINK HERE] and read the information about Newton's Third Law. After reading the content, do the four questions at the bottom of the page and record your answers on Study Sheet.

__** Part 2: The Coin Flick **__
 * ====Materials needed per student pair: 2 rulers, 6 pennies, tape====

====Arrange the 2 rulers on the table top with the line of 5 pennies between them, all touching & 1 inch from one end. Secure the rulers to the table with tape. Place a 6th penny on the other end between the rulers & flick it at the 5 coins. Observe what happens. Repeat the activity several times. Explain this phenomenon using Newton's Third Law of motion.====

====Draw a diagram of your observations. Repeat the process, flicking 2 coins, then 3 coins at the row of 5 coins & draw what you observe. Summarize your understanding of the 3rd law of motion on your summary sheet & think of another evidence and/or application of the law in your everyday lives.==== || ||

__** Part 3: Best Film on Newton's Laws. Ever! **__ View the following videos. You will want to take notes on what you watch. You can pause or re-watch any portion of these, Be sure to discuss what you learn.

If the videos won't play below, [|CLICK HERE], for another place where I have them stored. You will need the password from me to get in to the site.

How would you correctly draw the action - reaction forces from the end of the video?

__**Part 4: What were they thinking?**__ If you cannot view the video below, [|CLICK HERE] for another site where the video is stored. Ask me for the password

//To view the video in school open the following path - My Computer--> Media (U:Drive) --> High School --> Science --> Mr. Salibi --> Laws of Motion --> Center 5 --> Both videos are in the Center 5 folder//


 * 1) Watch the following video. Discuss among your group how Newton's Third Law applies to the situation.
 * 2) NOTE: Do not try this either.
