The goal of this ETP is to expose students to the industry project management procedures while working on the classic Egg Drop Project in a Physics Classroom.
Quantifying the settling velocity (terminal velocity) of a spherical particle in a liquid is of importance because it relates to areas in industry that process and transport suspensions of particles.
The goal of this ETP is to engage students with a hands-on engineering design challenge. Students will spend time designing, testing, and redesigning small-scale catapults. They will make two catapults: a prototype (what this lesson covers) and a final design (not included in this lesson).
