In the natural sciences the experiments have a central role for the process of the knowledge. One of the ways of teaching the Physics' concepts is the replication of historical experiments. This work focus on the replication of the historical experiment which was realised for first time by Newton and it is connected with the experimental proof of his third law. In the classroom the replication of the experiment has done as a demonstration in front of students of High School. It appears that the students can understand not only the interaction between two bodies but also the reason that these forces have equal value. The students generally through the replication of the historical experiments have a big interesting and they have motive for the learning. Also they learn the scintefic process that the scientists are doing when they produce the scientific knowledge.
