Activity Lesson PlansIntroduction
Students have been introduced to Isaac Newton’s Three Laws

of rest or uniform motion unless it is compelled to change that state by forces
imposed upon it.” The Second Law describes momentum: “Force is equal to the
change in momentum per change in time.” The Third Law is the most quoted: “For
every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Lesson Description
