      Why to things move the way they do?\u00a0 What is mass?<\/p>\n

      The Ancient Greeks believed that the natural state of mass was at rest.\u00a0 The key component to Newton’s Law that was the great paradigm shift with the Ancient Greek philosophy was the concept of inertia, that things are lazy and want to keep on doing what they were already doing.<\/p>\n

      A Canadian company produced three short videos for the elementary school classroom that show these three laws in a delightfully humorous though scientifically accurate way.<\/p>\n
