Catapults - Launching into Physics (Grades 6-8)
In this project, students will identify the relationship of speed, force, and trajectory to on the distance a spherical object will travel when launched by a catapult. Students will also determine which variables can be altered to reach a predetermined distance and calculate the ideal force and angle to launch push an object a certain distance.
