For Science Sunday this week, and in honor of Isaac Newton's birthday, I hot glued 4 pairs of milk caps together...
...three green pairs, each with one cap filled with play dough, and 1 pair of yellow, left empty, with no play dough.
I stacked them up, and challenged the children to knock the yellow cap set out, while leaving all the green caps neatly stacked.
You can watch our slow motion video below, to see Newton's 1st law of motion at work.
Happy birthday Isaac Newton!

Thanks for another great idea!
Brilliant! I'm bookmarking this post to come back to when we cover Newton next Autumn.
What a fun way to demonstrate this. I really should be saving more lids...
Love the slow mo video!
