| Description | Students use a LEGO® ball shooter to demonstrate and analyze the motion of a projectile through use of a line graph. The main objective is to introduce students graphs in terms of observing and demonstrating their usefulness in scientific and engineering inquiries. Students use a LEGO® ball shooter to demonstrate and analyze the motion of a projectile through use of a line graph. This activity involves using a method of data organization and trend observation with respect to dynamic experimentation with a complex machine. Also, the topic of line data graphing is covered. The main objective is to introduce students graphs in terms of observing and demonstrating their usefulness in scientific and engineering inquiries. During the activity, students point out trends in the data and the overall relationship that can be deduced from plotting data derived from test trials with the ball shooter. |
