Newton’s cradle: conservation of momentum
One ball strikes a row and exactly one ball swings out from the other end. An interactive Newton’s cradle — a lesson on momentum and energy.
Interactive experiments for kids, students and teachers. Run each one right on the page, then open a copy in the Tymora editor and change mass, friction, elasticity or gravity. Every experiment comes with discussion questions and a version to try at home.

A cue ball breaks a rack on a top-down table. Momentum passes from ball to ball — a collision experiment for kids 8+.
A ball rolls down a ramp and bumps a sensor, which turns green and removes the support under a second ball. Built from blocks.
Two carts with dummies hit a barrier. The belted one stays put, the unbelted one flies forward.
