| Title | Projectile launch angle vs displacement |
| Description | This is a short investigation of optimal angle for launching projectiles (yielding maximum range) that asks the student to first collect data, explain, and then try to derive a physics/ math proof. The idea is for student to solve for the solution both through data collection and analysis and via proof. |
