Process of Science: Give some everyday examples that illustrate Newton's Laws of Motion

What will be an ideal response?


Many possibilities here. For example, ice skating (low friction demonstrates first law, changing direction requires pushing the opposite way demonstrates the third law); billiard balls hitting each other and exchanging momentum (first law). An accelerating car pushes you back in your seat (second law), etc.
