8 ) Use Newton's first law to demonstrate and explain that an object is either at rest or moves at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force (e.g., model car on a table remaining at rest until pushed).

[SC2015] PS8 (8) 9 :
9 ) Use Newton's second law to demonstrate and explain how changes in an object's motion depend on the sum of the external forces on the object and the mass of the object (e.g., billiard balls moving when hit with a cue stick).

[SC2015] PS8 (8) 10 :
10 ) Use Newton's third law to design a model to demonstrate and explain the resulting motion of two colliding objects (e.g., two cars bumping into each other, a hammer hitting a nail).*

Title: The Art of Forces and Motion
URL: https://aptv.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/kqed07.sci.phys.lpforces/the-art-of-forces-and-motion/
Description:

The laws of nature are constantly influencing and interacting with our lives. Forces and motion are part of everything we do. How do we know what forces are acting on us or an object for that matter? Can we predict how the laws of motion will affect an object? Is it possible to create an art piece that can prove that these laws of nature exist? In this lesson, students will be able to study forces and motion vocabulary, visualize and describe the three laws of motion, discuss and design an art piece that justifies their knowledge and understanding of forces and motion, and present and interpret their art piece using vocabulary.

Title: Newton's Third Law: Action & Reaction StudyJam
URL: https://studyjams.scholastic.com/studyjams/jams/science/forces-and-motion/action-and-reaction.htm
Description:

Energy does not change, and that means it is constant. When one object applies force to another, the energy becomes an equal and opposite reaction.

The classroom resource provides a video that will explain Newton's Third Law of Motion. This resource can provide background information for students before they conduct their own demonstrations. There is also a short test that can be used to assess students' understanding.
