Angle Launched Projectiles Lab Bundle

How does launch angle impact the range, hang time, and maximum height of a projectile?

Allow your students to investigate and explore angle launched projectiles with this Angle Launch Virtual Lab (which uses and online applet from PhET) and Nerf Launcher Lab (which uses Nerf guns).

Whether you use the online, face-to-face, or both versions of this lab, your students will observe and analyze how 2D vectors, component vectors, projectile motion, geometry, and trigonometry come into play for projectiles launched at an angle.
