Apologia Physics: Projectile Motion Catapults

Today's class went as expected.  The guys built catapults in the Maker Lab.  It attracted a lot of interest.  The guys spent the whole class period refining their catapult models.  Rob wanted them to collect data.  They did, but were modifying their catapults so much they didn't get much in the way of data.  On Thursday, they'll take their best models and collect data to analyze.  We also captured some video to try to use with Vernier's Video Physics app. We captured video with my older iPad and the new iPad, which can video in slow motion.  Fingers crossed it works.
 Update: The library posted photos on Facebook and received over 2000 hits! Yeah!
Another update:  Rubber band canon
