Newton's Law and Propulsion (flight)

This is a two-lesson sequence created for my Year 4 grandson as part of ‘Grandad’s Virtual School’. The whole sequence leads up to rockets and space flight. In the first lesson we meet Isaac Newton, establish an understanding of the three laws of motion and then think about propulsion as an application of the Third Law. We move from propellor-driven aircraft to jets. It is a lead-in to the next lesson about rockets and then space flight. There is a lot of embedded video from YouTube and BBC.
Having a Newton’s Cradle handy would be a good illustration of the first two laws.
