Newton's Cradle: momentum, energy, and real evidence
Students use the remote Newton's Cradle lab to observe 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-ball releases, explain the pattern with momentum and kinetic energy, and distinguish an ideal model from real video evidence.
- Observe what happens when 1, 2, 3, and 4 balls are released in a real remote Newton's Cradle.
- Record how many balls leave after the collision and rate confidence in the observation.
Includes student questions and response prompts.
