Newton's Three Laws
Sir Isaac Newton
Newton was born on December 25, 1962. He was born in England become one of the best scientific minds the world has ever seen. He is best known for his work with the three laws of motion. He died in his sleep on March 20 1727.
Overview of the three laws

Newtons First Law of Motion
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Examples
If a bowl is sitting on a table then that bowl won't move until something hits it.
If a car is rolling then it keeps rolling unless you hit the brakes or friction and gravity stops it.
Law 2, F = M x A
The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
Examples
Ex. 1
The harder you push on something, the faster it will move.
Ex. 2
If both dog teams pull with the same force then the net force is 0 and the object wont move.
Ex. 3
The object will move in the direction you push it.
