Bell Activity: Calculate the average range of your projectile launcher and write it at the top of your lab paper.

    • Completing the labs

      • If you can pick it out, try to grab the same launcher you had before. Otherwise, calibrate a launcher so that at an angle you measured before, you get the same range. Do this by playing with you far back you pull the rubber band. When you've found the right distance, mark it with a pencil on your launcher.

      • Take a few minutes to complete the curve you are fitting to your data, or another part of the analysis if you are done with the graph.

      • Using a location that I assign, you'll have 2 shots at the castle. Your prize will be 3 extra credit points if you hit the castle on the first shot, 5 if you get it through the draw-bridge on the first shot. On the second shot, you earn 2 extra credit points for hitting any part of the castle.

      • Answer the "Additional Projectile Lab Questions" on a separate sheet of paper, and staple to the back of your lab

    • Labs are due Wednesday
