Buckling Up

WHY?

Every object will continue moving unless something stops them. Newton's First Law will always apply. Young children will view this Law in relationship to things that matter to them. Utilizing the principle of the seat belt allows them to personally experience Newton's First Law. And Newton's Laws apply to objects in the air as well as on the ground. This gives the children a glimpse into the dynamics of the aerodynamics of flight while they still are on the ground.
