Newton's 2nd and 3rd Law Pear Deck Slides
This deck covers Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws and is designed to be used with the Pear Deck program. It covers the Pennsylvania standards. I cover this topic around Christmas so it is Christmas-themed but can be edited. The slides include formative assessment slides, lab slides, get-to-know-you-slides, etc. This can also be used without the Pear Deck program, but may lose some functionality.
