Simple, powerful model of Newton’s Third Law
Newton’s Cradle remains a timeless demonstration—simple in design, powerful in impact—helping students connect motion they can see to the laws that govern it. This familiar apparatus dramatizes Newton’s Third Law—for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction—while clearly illustrating the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. Lift and release one ball and one shoots out the opposite side; release two, and two respond. Simple, elegant, and endlessly fascinating, the cradle turns abstract laws into motion students can see and predict. Includes an instruction sheet with principles, use tips, and storage guidance.
Size: 9"H × 7"W × 9"L.
Why Teachers Love the Newtonian Demonstrator (Newton’s Cradle)

Product Details
What You Can Teach with Newton’s Cradle
Ideal for upper elementary through high school and introductory college physics:
- Newton’s Third Law: Equal and opposite forces during collisions.
- Conservation of momentum: Momentum transfer through a system of colliding objects.
- Conservation of kinetic energy (elastic collisions): Energy transfer with minimal loss.
- Impulse and force duration (qualitative): How forces act over short collision times.
- Scientific reasoning: Prediction, observation, and explanation using physical laws.
A Perfect Gift for Science & Physics Enthusiasts
Newton’s Cradle isn’t just a classroom staple—it’s also a classic desk-top favorite for anyone who loves science. Its elegant design and endlessly fascinating motion make it a thoughtful gift for physics students, teachers, engineers, and science enthusiasts of all ages. Whether displayed in an office, classroom, or home, it sparks curiosity, invites conversation, and serves as a constant reminder of the beauty of fundamental physics in action.
