The students studied projectile motion in "A Marshmallow Catapult". I've only thrown in a few comments here because, let's face it: how much can you say?!? They're just flingin' marshmallows, for Goodness' sake!!!!!

After 5 ½ years, I've finally figured out how to attach a second head onto a body!  I just forgot the neck...

After catapulting the marshmallow, Elliot had to measure just how far it went.

Joe helps Danny by marking the spot.

Getting sick of crawling on the floor to measure, Ross finds a different way to travel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Quite a Reaction" had the students experience Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

Molly isn't conducting the lab quite right, but neither Mara nor Caity seem to notice!

 

 

 8-4_Boys1.jpg (65174 bytes)

Mark does a good job cutting the string. Jason enjoys the reaction. Kyle is off in "La-La Land".

 

 

 8-2_Girls.jpg (63616 bytes)

Can you guess in which direction the marble went?

 

 

 Claire_Liza.jpg (61252 bytes)

Claire insisted on cutting the string. I don't think Liza was too happy about that!

 
Kayla_Kaylee.jpg (52215 bytes)

Kayla seems to be having trouble cutting the string. Instead of helping (like a good lab partner), Kaylee laughs at her!

 

 Olivia_Steph.jpg (71539 bytes)

 

 Russ.jpg (83185 bytes)

Now, IF  Russ just cut the string, he musta been aiming at Joe!

As Krista shows, cutting the string and not  touching the cardboard isn't so easy. The tongue is optional, however.

 

 
Russ_Joe.jpg (62848 bytes)

Now Russ seems to be doing it right! I think Joe appreciates that!

 

 8-4_Girls1.jpg (76268 bytes)

Hmmm. Gina's doing all the lab work, while Dani just talks to Jackie, and Jackie does her MATH!!!

 

 Kaylee_Kayla.jpg (79694 bytes)

Working at a different angle, Kayla meets success.

Eric gives us a closer view of the experiment. Of course, those straws should be under the cardboard!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Blast Off" had the students investigating all three of Newton's Laws of Motion, trying to raise as many pennies as high as possible.

8-3_Girls1.jpg (136306 bytes)

Kim, Katie, and Katherine are pleased with their success.

 

 

 

 Dan_Ell_Joe.jpg (117749 bytes)

Danny & Elliot watch in amazement as Joe guides the balloon up with his hands.

 

 

 

 8-4_Girls1.jpg (136734 bytes)

Liza releases the balloon, Allie measures the height, and Gina records their results. Fantastic!! (I do apologize to Allie for cutting her in half - I didn't mean to!)

 

 Jeff_Luke.jpg (55642 bytes)

Jeff and Luke have a little problem with balancing their balloon, but they did  get it off the floor!

 

 

 
Luke_Aman_Katie.jpg (125010 bytes)

Luke, Amanda, and Katie have more success - the balloon rose right out of the picture!

 Claire_Sarah.jpg (122240 bytes)

Claire and Sarah run out of fuel about half way up.

 8-3_Girls2.jpg (132739 bytes)

Kaylee, Kayla, and Kim discover that a round balloon works very well! (We ran out of long balloons!)
