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).

This learning activity will allow students to observe real-world examples of Newton's Second Law of Motion through a video clip. After the video and class discussion of the video, students will work with a partner to create a list of other real-world examples of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

This activity is a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.
