Velocity investigation highlights conservation of energy and momentum.

A great demonstration or experiment as students try to derive the velocity of a ball leaving the launcher. Students can calculate velocity and test their calculations using this system with separate video or probeware system.

• Main Lab: find the velocity
• Extension One: photogate verification of muzzle velocity
• Extension Two: damped simple harmonic motion
• Covers 10 Next Generation Science Standards Concepts
• Covers 17 Common Core Standards
• 27 pages total
• Student workbook is a guide for students to fill out as they work through the main lab and lab extensions
• General Theory Section lays out the theory and mathematics behind the lesson plan
• Experimental Teaching Guide helps teachers prepare lesson plans and lead inquiry or step-based activities
