Force and Fan Cart Gizmos: Explore Gizmos Force and Fan Carts to aid in your discussion. Pick a Facilitator/conversation starter, Speaker, Recorder and discuss the following: What happens when you change the fan force? The objects? The surface? Do any of your observations demonstrate some (or all) of Newton's Laws of motion? In what ways? Have your recorder share out 1 key observation you made and something you wondered about as a group on the Padlet. Be prepared to share out when we come back together as a group. by Christina Merz https://padlet.com/Merz123/ja96b49amnwcrbr4 en-us 2023-10-19 17:26:57 UTC 2025-10-23 17:40:29 UTC hello@padlet.com cmerz6 https://padlet.com/Merz123/ja96b49amnwcrbr4/wish/3626963475 2025-10-10 16:17:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Merz123/ja96b49amnwcrbr4/wish/3626963475 Group 2 Madison, Violet, Nathanael, Alyssa https://padlet.com/Merz123/ja96b49amnwcrbr4/wish/3645774360 When you added more weight to the cart the acceleration was a lot slower. Depending on the texture due to drag the acceleration also slows down. This translates to Newton's second law in how weight and gravity affects the acceleration of the cart.

This represents the Third Law. From the most friction to the least is wood cement, metal, and no friction.
