How do you explain Newton's Laws of Motion to a 4th grader?

My assignment is to create a book about Newton's Laws of Motion so that a 4th grader could understand it.How do you explain Newton's Laws of Motion to a 4th grader?By examples. A soccer game in space ( no gravity or friction). The ball remains at rest until acted on by a net force (kick). Doesn't stop unless someone stops it. The Concept of the ball stopping because it hits the ground and friction of air can be added later.

The same sort of situation can be used for his other laws.How do you explain Newton's Laws of Motion to a 4th grader?an object in motion will keep going, until something stops it.How do you explain Newton's Laws of Motion to a 4th grader?Throw an apple at him/her.How do you explain Newton's Laws of Motion to a 4th grader?
