Newton's First Law And The PE Kit That Would Not Move

from Science Sideways · host Jennifer Taylor

Why did the PE kit stay exactly where it was, despite repeated nudges and hallway chaos? Because Newton said so. In this episode, we explore the laws of motion through the lens of everyday school life and the emotional inertia of teenage mornings. Expect surreal metaphors and a sideways slingshot into GCSE physics. Perfect for curious teens (11–18), revision-weary parents, and anyone who’s ever tried to move something that really didn’t want to be moved.
