__** Part 1: Hitting a Table **__
 * 1) Slam your fist onto the table top. (Be careful...don't hurt yourself!)
 * 2) What force caused your fist to stop moving? What object applied that force? Discuss these questions with your group.

__** Part 2: Balloon Rockets Explanation **__ 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.

How would you correctly draw the action - reaction force diagrams from the two examples at the end of the video?


 * Part 3: 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 force diagram of your observations. Repeat the process, flicking 2 coins, then 3 coins at the row of 5 coins & draw a force diagram of 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.==== || ||
