Description
Newton's laws changed our understanding of the universe. A supplement to the Hall of Meteorites Educator's Guide, this activity draws on what students learned while studying meteorites to investigate some of the ways the laws are expressed in our dynamic solar system. Students are divided into pairs or small groups, presented with Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravity and asked to come up with examples of each of the laws. Finally, students present their findings to the class.
