Learning in motion! 🚀
Our 8th grade scientists are putting their knowledge to the test by exploring key concepts like Newton’s Laws of Motion, simple machines, and projectile motion—all through hands-on experimentation with catapults!
Students tested three different launch angles (30°, 45°, and 60°) and experimented with long and short plastic spoons to see how far their mini marshmallows would travel. Along the way, they analyzed distance, accuracy, and how force and angle impact motion.
Through trial, error, and a little bit of fun, students discovered which catapult setup was the most effective—and why!
