What is Newton's laws?

Newton’s laws are rules that explain how things move, or don’t move, when you push them or let go.

Imagine you're playing with a toy car on the floor. When you push it, it zooms forward, that's Newton’s First Law in action! It says: if something is moving, it wants to keep moving; if it's not moving, it wants to stay still. Like how your favorite blanket stays cozy and still until you jump on it.

Now think about pushing that toy car harder, it goes faster. Or if you push a big stuffed bear, it moves slower. That’s Newton’s Second Law! It says: the more something weighs, the harder you have to push to make it move quickly. It's like trying to get your dad to dance, he might need a bigger push than you do!

When you push on something, it pushes back. Like when you bounce a ball, you hit it, and it hits you! That’s Newton’s Third Law: for every push or pull, there's an equal one coming back. It's like having a friend who always matches your moves in tag! Newton’s laws are rules that explain how things move, or don’t move, when you push them or let go.
