WA and Apologia: More Physics Activities for Physical Science

I like to locate labs or activities that connect to discrete concepts.  The more, the better.  Newton's First Law Lab has several of the activities in the Young Explorer and Apologia's texts.  One simple activity from Young Explorers is to blow up and release a balloon to watch the direction the balloon sails around the room.


Newton's Third Law labs often have some type of rocket, such as Experiment 10.4 from Apologia and Chapter Investigation in McDougall.

NASA Quest has an excellent overview for kids, too.
