Flinging Fun: Exploring Projectile Motion with Catapults
by Jonathan Perrone
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 different factors, such as force and angle of launch, affect the trajectory of a projectile.
