Students will design a solution to investigate how changes in launch angle and force impact the trajectory and distance of a football, aiming for consistent field goal scoring. Using the engineering design process, they will build their own catapult to achieve this goal.

Grade Level(s): Elementary & Middle School (ages 7 - 14)
