What educators are saying
I used this project with my Math 2 Honors students and I think I will incorporate it into the curriculum for my regular students next year. They loved building the catapult and then it truly helped solidify the concepts behind projectile motion and building the quadratic function.
Description
Project is divided into four different sections. The first is the creation of a catapult, which my students made out of Popsicle sticks and rubber bands. The second is a paper which requires students to explain the mathematics behind a catapult. The third is the equation for the trajectory of their catapult. The last is a poster project (which i substituted for the paper and equation due to time) which allows students to transition between equations, graphs, and tables. All sections of this project include a rubric.
