Understanding Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion through Collaborative Movement

Honors Physics students recently had the opportunity to expand their understanding of Newton’s 3rd Law of motion, which states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” They did this by participating in an experiential movement learning lab, where they observed and engaged with real-world examples of action and reaction forces in a dance studio setting. These guided research activities helped reinforce their understanding of how the law operates in different situations.
