Smithsonian Newton's Cradle: Physics Learning Kit for 3rd Grade with Instruction Guide
Get same-day delivery from stores you know and love.
- Learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.
- Watch how momentum and energy are transferred from one side of Newton's Cradle to the other.
- Observe how potential (“stored”) energy becomes kinetic energy.
- Learn about matter, mass and momentum
- Learn about inertia, force, and centripetal force
- Observe what happens when you change the combination of balls you swing.
- Try simple experiments with coins to demonstrate Newton's First Law of Motion: An object at rest tends to stay at rest; an object in motion tends to stay in motion
Swing one ball or two, and observe what happens on the other end. Based on Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion, Newton's Cradle lets you witness for yourself how for every action, there is an oppos…
