Newton’s First Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest or in motion until an outside force acts upon it. This 4‑H STEM Lab activity uses Hot Wheels cars to explore the concepts of force and friction described by Newton. You will manipulate how hard a car is pushed and explore how to maximize the pull of gravity.
Hint: After completing the activity, don’t forget to mark it as complete to track your progress!
