    Intro: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion

    Strawbees Team

    Discover how to use Strawbees to model and test Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion. Construct a mini ramp to observe a ball traveling along a track through three experiments. Collaborate with classmates to identify and describe the ways that this object traveling over a short chute demonstrates Newton’s laws in action.

    Lesson Structure

    When students go through this lesson in each section, the objectives they will learn are:

    • Imagine – Discover how three laws form the basis for describing how all objects move.
    • Build – Build a pyramid with a slope to test all three of Newton’s laws of motion.
