Straw Rocket Lab - Newton's Laws of Motion
This is a fun inquiry lab in which students investigate the effect of fins on rocket flight. They make 4 identical paper tube rockets and then change the fin configuration to produce stable flight. Finally, they have to hit a target with their rocket.
Expect it to take 20-30 minutes, but you can extend it by investigating the effect of the length of the nose cone or changing other variables. It costs pennies to do and you can get all the supplies at any grocery store. All you need are 1 cle

Building Catapults: Project and Lab Report Outline with Rubric
My Physics students’ favorite project is building a catapult –it’s almost a rite of passage for Physics students! Here is a free, editable template to organize a project in which students will:
• research and design a projectile launcher (catapult, ballista, trebuchet, etc.) that converts either elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy to launch the projectile
• document the building process
• calibrate the launcher to hit targets at various distances

Distance and Displacement Worksheet
Distance and displacement are important terms in Physics. They both have to do with the idea of "How far?" but they often lead to different answers. The Distance and Displacement Worksheet provides some good practice by using common, everyday activities and objects such as a baseball diamond, a running track, a cupcake, and a swimming pool.
