There are two projects that these materials will enable and enrich. First, these materials will enable students to build launching devices of their own design and making that they will use to make a series of measurements and predictions and then ultimately test their predictions. This energy launching project requires students to create a force, draw a curve to determine their initial elastic potential energy, then apply projectile motion formulas to predict where their launched item will land. They will test their prediction, make modifications and account for sources of error. This project enables students to apply concepts from multiple units and they limited only by their imagination in design. These materials will also be used to create egg drop projects wherein students design, test and refine an apparatus that enables an egg to survive a drop from the roof of our high school! While directly applying concepts of the impulse-momentum theorem students will gather time and height data and use it to calculate a wide variety of quantities that span all kinematics units! Some of these quantities include the force of air resistance, the actual acceleration downward, the final velocity, and the force of impact. Then, with a class data table projected and with all student data displayed students will draw conclusions based on the data. What story does the data tell? Why did some projects survive and some did not? Air resistance, force of impact, and engineering design strategies used for successful projects will all be discussed and compared. When done right this seemingly simple project can be very intense and the calculations numerous! The supplies will enable students to make projects they are proud of!
