Math and Science teacher, Pete Golden in the photo above contemplates his nearly finished launcher for studying ballistics, and momentum. The first use of it was a disappointment, sending Pete back to the drawing board for modifications. Some of the students were luckier, getting better range with simple launchers. Next week we will have a few minutes to finish up and then a competition of some sort. This has been a fun project with each student challenged to think creatively and practice their problem solving skills, and is a good illustration of how a wood shop can enhance other areas of study.
