Snowball Launcher — Projectile Motion STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligned)
Title: Snowball Launcher — Projectile Motion STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligned)Description (emoji-friendly): Launch into winter physics! ❄️ Students test a paper-ball or pom-pom “snowball” launcher to explore projectile motion. Teams hold pullback constant and vary launch angle, measuring distance vs. angle to discover the peak near 45°. They graph data, justify conclusions with CER, and (optionally) estimate launch speed using the range formula. 🎯📈 NGSS Alignment: 3–5: 3-5-ET

Cranberry Bog Boat — Buoyancy & Density STEM Challenge (Grades 3–12, NGSS Aligne
Make buoyancy click with a seasonal engineering lab: students design a small foil “bog boat” that carries the maximum mass (cranberries/coins/washers) before sinking. They plan, build, test in a water bin, record data, and iterate to optimize stability and displacement—perfect for stations or a full-period lab. What students do Plan & sketch under material/size constraints, predict capacity. Test in rounds, adding equal-mass items until failure; record max mass, freeboard, and failure mode.
