| The Bike Question | |
| If you are unable to do the bike experiment for yourself, try watching in on the link below. |
| The Drum Question | |
| If you are unable to do the drum experiment for yourself, try watching in on the link below. |
| The Rolling Cans | |
| An interesting experiment involves the comparison of the motion of two tin cans when they roll and slide. This is an experiment that you could carry out yourself, or you could watch at the link below. |
| Brainiac Eggsperiment | |
| This is a great experiment that demonstrates Newton’s First law of motion. Watch and enjoy at the link below. |
