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
How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and
Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the
