This is a lesson plan for teaching Newton's Third Law within the context NASA's Swift satellite. Students warm up with a reading excerpt that explains thrust, the force that moves the rocket through space. Newton's Third Law comes into play as students conduct an experiment to propel a balloon along a fishing line. They must consider what force (or forces) act to counter thrust. Resource includes lesson, detailed lab procedures, Student Handout, data table, pre/post discussion questions, and answer key. Can be viewed in html or downloaded as a printable pdf document.
