This paper explains the process of making a Newton Car from scratch. I will be explaining what materials I used and a rational, all the modifications I made to make this car go, and how my car moves in terms of Newton’s third law. Newton’s third law of motion, in simple terms, is for every action there is a equal and opposite reaction. The materials I used for the Newton Car Project is the following: three straws, four bottle caps, one piece of cardboard, one rubber band, one balloon, piece of
