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

Animal Research: Orca Whales
In this activity, students will become animal experts as they research fascinating facts about Orca Whales. This project helps students build early research, note-taking, and informational writing skills while learning about one of the ocean's most incredible animals. It's perfect for science, ELA, Or animal-themed unit. We paired it with reading Whale of the Wild by Rosanne Parry. We also checked out books about Orcas from the library and did online research together.
