The physicist will not insist
You learn the wizard’s potion
But minds will grow if students know
Of Newton’s Laws of Motion

Isaac Newton studied forces
Forces make things start and stop
Students taking science courses
Learn these laws to stay on top

Things in motion stay in motion
Things at rest will stay at rest
Inertia’s our initial notion
Know it and you’ll past the test

We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion

The next law’s also worth a mention
So wisdom will accelerate
Although I sense your apprehension
A speedy lesson is your fate

With your elbow, wrist and shoulder
Here is how you must proceed
Throw a ball and throw a boulder
Greater mass means lesser speed

We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion

One last law we’ll be explaining
Says forces always come in pairs
Newton’s law will leave you straining
When you’re climbing up the stairs

Each step you take is called an action
Push a wall, it pushes back
When you act, expect reaction
Equal and opposite, that’s a fact

We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the law
We’re laying down the laws
Of motion
