Did you know that a scientist named Sir Isaac Newton came up with 3 laws for motion?
We learnt about these 3 laws:
1st law of motion is: You need a force to move something - a push or a pull
2nd law of motion is: The bigger an object, the bigger the force needed to move it
3rd law of motion is: That there is an opposite and equal reaction for every motion - e.g. a balloon moves the opposite direction to the air that comes out of it.
We did a few experiments to learn about these laws.

| Piper using the Newton to measure the force it takes to pull a shoe across the carpet |
 |
| Tom and Jamie using the Newton to measure the force to pull a rubber band some many centimetres. |

| Safiya and Ella measuring the force it takes to move my keys across the desk. |
 |
| Thomas and Ibrahim balancing their force. |

| Making their car to see Newton's 3rd law of motion in action. |
