| Title | Projectile Motion Discovery |
| Description | Inquiry lab that helps students discover concepts about projectiles, 2D motion, and motion vectors. Introduction lab: I recommend the use of this as a discovery lab to introduce projectile motion (before an official lecture). Students should have been introduced to vector components previously. It gives them some hands-on experience with projectiles before lecturing on the topic. This is a great scaffolding exercise. Summary Lab: This could also be used as a lab to summarize what was learned about 2D motion. |
