What is A Bird’s Eye View? A bird’s-eye view is a view from above, as though the observer were a bird. The colorful, quirky watercolor shown is how artist Amanda Hamilton imagines a Bird’s Eye View of St. Ives Harbor. An overview of anything, including a science project can be called a bird’s eye view. […]

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

By

Newton’s Third Law of Motion describes the characteristics of a pair of action/reaction forces: 1. The two forces are equal in magnitude. 2. The two forces push or pull in opposite directions. 3. The two force act on different object. The force of one object is acting on a second object and vise-versa. 4. The […]

Newton’s First Law of Motion

By

Newton’s First Law Describes Inertia What is Inertia? Inertia is the resistance of an object with balanced forces acting on it to change its state of motion. In the diagram to the right, the stick figures are pulling with equal force in opposite directions on a rope. The forces acting on the rope are balanced, […]
