News

• Physics Students Design and Build Catapults
  • Students in physics honors and AP physics were tasked with designing and building a catapult. The catapults had to be capable of launching a projectile at several different angles. Students recorded the launch angle, distance, and time and then use that data to determine the initial velocity of the projectile and the maximum height achieved.
