Examine Newton’s third law as represented through real-world activities.
Objectives/Goals
- Examine and explain evidence of Newton’s third law.
- Identify real-world problems with solutions that require an understanding of the direction of energy by forces.
Procedure
- Beyond the classroom and the examples already displayed, where might you encounter examples similar to the scenario from the Engage activity?
- Use the Pick A Pic (links to an external site) strategy to find an image that shows a reaction similar to the ones you saw in the videos. Add your picture to the discussion activity below and add a hashtag to the picture that describes what it is about (for example, “#carcrash”).

Choose a picture that hasn’t been selected by another student yet, add a hashtag caption, and give a rationale for why you believe the image your peer chose illustrates the concepts of Newton’s third law.
