This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
