Students test catapults. In this physics activity, student conduct scientific investigations that require them to test catapults. Students practice their problem solving skills as they employ the use of the scientific method.

Students identify the advantages and disadvantages of a catapult as a weapon. In this physics lesson, students construct their own catapult. They investigate how changing one variable affects results.

Students examine Newton's three laws of motion to discover what causes it and how it changes. They conduct motion experiments by building catapults and constructing balloon rockets. Finally, they conduct peer studies correlating...
