Serc: Lab: Horizontally Launched Projectiles (With Uncertainty Analysis)

For Teachers 10th - 12th
This lab takes a "time- tested" lab and puts a new spin on it by using the uncertainty of all measurements and uncertainty of their prediction. Students will use this measurement technique while using the kinematics equation to predict...
