Teacher Resources for Instructional Planning


Grade 8, Science Std 8.4: Identify Newton’s third law of motion • Stating examples of action and reaction force pairs • Comparing the conservation of momentum with Newton’s 3rd law of motion • Applying Newton’s 3rd law to real world applications

Lesson Plans: Newton's Third Law Pupils will verbalize and demonstrate Newton's 3rd Law of Motion: action and reaction. Measuring Friction Have students design and perform experiments to determine which factors are important in the motion of a block. Action and Reaction Demonstrate that forces occur only in pairs. Newton's Third Law of Motion Several examples of experiments that illustrate Newton's 3rd Law of Motion NCAA Basketball - The Chalkboard Students will design a way to demonstrate Newton's third law and share it with the class.
