Pi-Day Catapult — Optimize Angle & Tension (Predict vs. Measure) | MS–HS NGSS

Created by
Allison Smith
Description (NGSS included) Celebrate Pi-Day with a data-driven projectile challenge! Students tune angle and tension on a simple launcher, then predict vs. measure range and compute percent error. Teams graph Range vs. Angle (and optional Range vs. Pullback) and explain results with CER. 🧠📈 🔬 Investigate: hold one variable constant to fairly test the other. 🧮 Model: use a calibration shot or R ≈ (v²·sin(2θ))/g to predict. 📊 Analyze: compare predicted vs. measured; percent error

"You all know the story of Humpty Dumpty and his epic fall. What you don’t know is that even though the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together, the FBI was able to. That is how Humpty Dumpty became a secret agent..." Engage your students with this STEM/PBL engineering science lab to help design a device that will assist Agent Dumpty in surviving a jump from a second story window on his next case. Working in collaborative groups students will assess the problem, design a plan, crea
