There are so many great activities out there that allow them to experience the effect of different forces and Newton’s laws. (I always tell the students that they need to use school appropriate video games so no call of duty or warcraft)Īctivities to experience the effect of forces They can build rollercoasters in Minecraft and describe how the forces affect the motion of the cart. They can use screenshots or videos to demonstrate the forces acting on the different objects and how Newton’s three laws are applied. If they love video games, they can also describe how the different forces are applied in their virtual world. Have them explain their sport, the forces involved with their sport, and how Newton’s three laws apply to it. If they love playing sports or watching them, they can create videos, posters, stories, or ebooks. This is the perfect unit to use those interests to get students involved more with science.
Most students love watching sports or playing them, and many love video games.
