Archery is believed to be one of the oldest sports in the world at more than 25,000 years old—meaning it can teach your classes a lot! Scholars learn about the forces interacting in the archery simulation. They control the archer's stance, launch angle, launch speed, and distance to target. Graphs show the horizontal and vertical motion over time.
