Station 2 Observations:
There balloon stretches as it
is filled with air. The balloon
shrinks back to original size as
it flies all around because the
air is released.
Station 3: Observations
Pushing on the wall causes
motion in the opposite
direction.

TEACHER VERSION________
Date:

1.
New Concept
Law of Action Reaction

The action force of one marble

will cause a reaction force to
move an equally sized marble .

5. Characteristics of New
Concept
Part 1: For every action force
there is an equal reaction force

The action force of the air

rushing out of the balloon will
cause a reaction force of the
balloon flying around the room
in the opposite direction.

Part 2: For every action force

there is an opposite reaction
force

The action force against the

wall is matched by the reaction
force of the wall against the
student on the skateboard
causing motion in the opposite
direction.

Parts 1 &2 together:

For every action force there
is an equal & opposite
reaction force

7. Understanding of the New Concept: 8.6C

Pull a force picture from the envelope and explain how Newtons 3rd Law of Motion: Action Reaction is applied to
the motion in the picture.
Make sure to tell the action and reaction force, and
use 3-5 key terms: equal, opposite, force, push, speed, velocity, acceleration.
