Marble launcher projectile lab.

In part 3 you will test your knowledge of projectile motion and of your launcher by precisely placing a hoop such that the projectile flies through it. Measure the distance traveled by a marble at various launch speed settings. Students will use the kinematics of projectile motion to determine the muzzle velocity launch velocity of a marble shot from a spring launcher. Lead your students through engaging activities covering science and math topics such as projectile motion vectors data analysis statistics looking beyond simple theories problem solving real numbers measurement.

Students launch a marble at a constant angle and different launch speed settings. Visit flinn canada 1 800 452 1261.
