My Project

The mini projectile launcher will launch small objects at various angles to help students investigate forces, gravity, and kinematics. The students will be able to apply their mathematical skills to predict distance, time, and velocity of the projectile objects.

The combination of the launcher and the BeeSpi digital meter and timer will allow my students to investigate, measure, and make calculations based on real-world data.

The BeeSpi digital meter and timer device can also be used in many different physics-based applications such as with Hot Wheels tracks to measure instantaneous velocity.
