What are some practical exercises to understand Newton's laws?

You can try a few hands-on activities! For example, you can use toy cars to demonstrate Newton's first law by observing how they stay at rest until pushed.

That sounds interesting! What about Newton's second law?

For Newton's second law, you can experiment with different weights on a skateboard. Measure how much force is needed to accelerate it.

And how can I illustrate Newton's third law?

You can use a balloon! When you release it, the air rushing out pushes the balloon in the opposite direction, demonstrating action and reaction.

Are there any other fun experiments I can do?

Absolutely! You can also try dropping different objects to see how gravity affects them, or use a pendulum to explore motion.
