New Horizons was a satellite sent out in 2006 to take pictures of Pluto. After completing its mission it continued traveling at the same velocity in a straight line, which is a great example of this law of motion.
What is Newton's 1st Law?

Parker and JDawg play tug of war with a yardstick, but they are equally matched and the stick doesn't move an inch. This is the amount of net force the stick experiences (in Newtons).
What is zero?

Allowing a current to flow through a wire that is coiled around an iron object creates this type of device.
What is an electromagnet?

This word describes the state of a simple lightbulb circuit when the lightbulb is powered on.
What is "closed"?

A hydrogen atom with 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron has this amount of charge total.
What is zero?

In the movie Wall-E, our robot protagonist flies through space using a fire extinguisher to propel him. As Wall-E points and fires the extinguisher behind him, he starts to travel in the opposite direction, demonstrating this law of motion.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?

Mr. Filoteo tries to push a new refrigerator toward his kitchen to install it, but this force stops him, acting in the opposite direction.
What is friction?

This is the name of the invisible source of potential energy that makes all magnets do their magnet thing.
What is the magnetic field?

This is the name of the invisible source of potential energy that causes a balloon to make your hair stick up.
What is the electric field?

An atom with atomic number 7 is measured to have a mass of 14. This is the number of neutrons it contains in its nucleus.
What is seven?

This color describes the part of the position/time graph which shows the fastest motion.
What is purple?

A comically large book placed on a table is experiencing a normal force which pushes it in this direction.
What is upward?
300
This is the arrangement of two magnets' poles that results in a magnetic pull force.
What is north to south (or south to north)?
300
This is the arrangement of two charges that results in an electrostatic attraction (pull) force between them.
What is negative to positive (or positive to negative)?
400
This is the name of the subatomic particle that has the lowest mass compared to the others (by a landslide).
What is the electron?

A car driving north on a neighborhood road takes 4 seconds to accelerate from 0 m/s to 12 m/s. This is the exact value of its acceleration going north. (Don't forget correct units!)
What is 3 m/s each second?
400
A cardboard box is acted upon by all of the forces listed above, making it move overall in this direction with this amount of net force. (Two parts to this answer!)
What is 40N to the left?

This is the arrangement of two magnet's poles that leads to the observations above.
What is north to north (or south to south)?

Rubbing a balloon on your hair removes these subatomic particles from the top of your head, resulting in a balloon that is more negatively charged.
What are electrons?
500
This is the name of the subatomic particle you would need to add to an atom to make it heavier without changing the charge.
What is the neutron?

The astronauts on Apollo 16 approached the Moon in their spacecraft on April 21, 1972. This is the name of the object in this scenario which has the highest inertia.
What is the Moon?
