Bringing Newton’s Laws to Life with AI

In this simulation, you explored Newton’s First, Second, and Third Laws of Motion through simple, animated experiments. Each law is presented visually, making abstract principles like inertia, force, and equal-and-opposite reaction easier to grasp.

This demo was built with ChatGPT to show how instructional designers can leverage AI to create interactive science prototypes. Instead of static textbook diagrams, the concepts unfold as small experiments that learners can trigger and observe.

The promise of AI in instructional design is not that it replaces expertise, but that it speeds up the path from idea to prototype. With scaffolding in place, designers can spend more time ensuring scientific accuracy and pedagogy, while still giving learners a vivid, memorable experience.
