Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to
everyone, and features many accessibility features.
Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary,
and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav
structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling
navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child
navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs.
Within the main content, we leverage headers to provide in page or
in tool navigation.
Although we are still rebuilding our content to leverage these tools,
our images should have both short and verbose descriptions, the later
describing in great detail the image for those who cannot see. Any
formulas found within the images are often in the image figure below the image.
Equations and formulas are rendered using MathJax, which has both verbal,
braille (including nemath braille), and keyboard navigation within them.
Learn how to configure and leverage this for various screen readers on our
Equation Navigation Page.
While not every area of
Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we
are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have
questions or need additional help, please use

The Newton's Third Law Video Tutorial explains the claims made by Newton's Third Law of motion. The concept of an interaction force pairs between contacting objects is explained in great depth. The equal and opposite nature of the interaction forces are discussed and numerous examples are given.
The video lesson answers the following questions:
In what way does Newton’s third law of motion describe the nature of a force on an object?
How can Newton’s third law and Newton’s second law be combined to describe the magnitude of the force and the acceleration of two interacting objects?
Minds On Physics - Part 2, Newton's Laws module, Mission NL12
Those serious about learning Physics will appreciate our Minds On Physics apps. The questions target common misconceptions, provide immediate feedback, and continue to target misunderstandings until mastery is demonstrated.

The Tutorial pages of our website have a reputation for presenting physics concepts in an easy-to-understand language. It's a reliable and quick reference when you need a follow-up to this video.
Teacher Resources
Teacher Toolkits: Newton's Third Law
Teacher Toolkits provide teachers a collection of annotated links to vetted resources on the internet that are standards-based and multimedia reliant. This particular Toolkit is on Newton's Third Law and should assist a teacher in finding resources for planning lessons that are next steps to this video.
Newton's Third Law
makes a great follow-up to this video tutorial. Concept Builders We currently do not have any Concept Builders on the topic of Newton's third law. But our minds are on the look out for one and we hope to come up with an idea soon. Until then the resources below will have to do.
