Suggested Task:

There are a number of safe and legal demonstrations of Newton's laws of motion (along with many that are unsafe and or illegal). Find some that are safe and legal and become sufficiently skilled at performing the demonstrations that you can amaze an audience with both your performance and your knowledge of physics.
