KIDS WILL LEARN & EXPERIMENT WITH:
- 🔸How to Assemble Their Launcher — printed & video instructions included
- 🔸Velocity, Acceleration & Motion — explore how launch force, angle, and height affect speed and distance
- 🔸Mass, Inertia & Momentum — test how different cars behave when launched with the same force
- 🔸Variables & Experiment Design — choose an independent variable, measure outcomes, and control other factors
- 🔸Graphing & Data Analysis — record results, graph relationships (x vs. y), and interpret trends
- 🔸Prediction & Modeling — make hypotheses, test them, and compare results to expectations
- 🔸Advanced Modeling (Grades 9–12/AP) — create best‑fit curves in Google Sheets or Excel and evaluate how well the model predicts new data
