Catapult: Kinetic and Potential Energy
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data analysis, students will gain a deeper understanding of energy transfer and mechanical work.
