Launching Projectiles and Data Collection


Delving deeper into projectile launching

We're connecting ideas together now between energy that is potential (stored) and energy that is kinetic (moving)
Team work is essential for this science experiment. We need to be active participants by watching where the rubber band lands and ensuring the angle and pull of the launch remains the same.

Maths is part of the learning too as we count the number of steps then convert this into cm.

Some of us experimented with our launching technique and discovered that our projectile distance was much greater as a result.


Next week we will continue to test out our projectiles and will also graph and analyse the results.
