What could you do with this science trick? Inertia Stack Inertia is a really interesting property of matter and it can be manipulated in this fun and interesting way - using things you’ve got laying around the house! Basically, inertia is the tendency of stuff to stay still or keep moving unless you do something to change that. Sir Isaac Newton described it in his first Law of Motion: “Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to chang

From survivingmsscience on IG: “Introduction to Inertia! This is a great activity for Newton’s 1st Law of Motion. You have to try it!✨ All you need are some index cards, string, and plastic cups. For a group of 4 students you will need 4 index cards and 5 cups. I got this idea from mrsnelsonsmiddles 😃 Tip: use the hole punch reinforcement stickers to help your cards last year after year.” | Edutopia

Inertia in physics is the property of an object that resists changes to its state of motion. This means that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. Inertia is directly related to an object's mass—the greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and the more force required to alter its motion. This concept is a fundamental principle in Newton's First Law of Motion, often re
