"Objects Be Lazy" in Science

(2/10): Last week, our sixth grade science students put Newton’s First Law of Motion also known as the Law of Inertia (or as we like to call it, “Objects Be Lazy!”) to the test with hands-on Inertia Stations! They watched in amazement as a penny dropped straight into a cup when the card beneath it was flicked away—proof that objects at rest really like to stay at rest! Matchbox cars slammed into barriers, reminding us that without an outside force, motion doesn’t change. Books slid right off chairs with a satisfying plop onto the floor, spinning eggs kept us guessing what was inside each one, and rubber bands helped us measure just how much force it takes to break inertia’s grip. Next up: Eggs-ellent Car Safety
