Students use common materials to recreate a physical model of a video game that uses a sling shot to launch projectiles to knock down blocks. Explore projectile motion and other principles that influence the design of the sling shots.
Students use common materials to recreate a physical model of a video game that uses a sling shot to launch projectiles to knock down blocks. Using the engineering design process, students learn about projectile motion and other principles that influence the design of the sling shots. This kit contains enough materials for 10 students working in teams of two.
Materials include: gummy candies, rubber bands, foam board, transparency paper, and craft sticks.
Students work for an engineering design firm specializing in roller coaster engineering. Discover potential and kinetic energy, centripetal force, inertia, momentum, and velocity.
