What educators are saying

My students had so much fun with this activity!! They were able to be creative and work together while applying what they know.
My students were absolutely thrilled to be able to apply their knowledge on a hands-on a real world example. They had so much fun building the catapults and were able to solidify their understanding of quadratics by finding the equations and using technology to visualize and check their work.

Description

This is by far my favorite project that I have done with my students! Please see the preview and product video for explanations and examples.

Included:

1. Detailed project instructions. (Google Doc - EDITABLE)

2. Two student presentation examples (view only)

3. Google Spreadsheet (Editable)

Tab 1 - Recording Distance

Tab 2 - Recording Power

Tab 3 - Recording Accuracy

Tab 4 - Grading Rubric

Note: You will have to provide your students with materials to build a catapult. (I ask families to donate items) You can have your class create any type of catapult you would like from very basic to more complicated. I gave my students free range to design and build whatever they wanted. I included links to websites for student to explore catapult builds.

This product gives you step by step directions to complete the project and test the catapults. I have included the Google Sheets I used for testing days as well as the grading rubric. They are given to you as a Google Doc and a Google Sheet so they are 100% Editable!!!!!
