🚗💥 8th grade students are diving into Newton's First Law of Motion with a hands-on lab called "Observing Inertia!"
In this experiment, students sent a toy car down an incline, crashing it into an embankment. They performed trials with a doll seatbelted in the car and without a seatbelt, measuring how far the doll flew from the car!
💡 A great way to see inertia in action and the importance of seatbelts! #PhysicsInAction #HandsOnLearning #ScienceLabFun
