Newton's Second Law InvestigationNGSS Standard:
MS-PS2-2 Plan an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object’s motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object. Purpose You will work in teams of 3 to create a balloon rocket and collect data to investigate how force, mass, and acceleration are related. You will use this data to prove Newton’s Second Law of Motion.

MS-PS2-1: Use Newton’s Third Law to design a solution to a problem involving the motion of two colliding objects. MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. Overview Using your knowledge of force pairs and Newton’s Third Law of motion, you will work in teams of 3 to design and build a Rube Goldberg Machine to complete a simple task.
