● Students will watch video and discuss how Newton’s laws of motion connect with rockets
● Newton’s Laws:
1. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an outside force.
2. The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. F=ma
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
4. Students will explore Newton’s laws in more detail in the balloon lab.
