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!!!!!
