The perfect tool for the study of projectile motion!
The Elasti-Launcher is the perfect tool when it comes to collecting data for the study of projectile motion. Best of all, it's safe to use indoors or outdoors because, unlike conventional rockets, it's powered by rubber bands. Launch tiny rockets (projectiles) made from lightweight plastic, or make your own. You control the launch angle, force and mass.
The amazingly consistent results of repeat launches allow students to truly practice the scientific method by collecting tons of accurate data in a short amount of time. It's so simple to use, 1st graders can operate it and learn how to predict where the rocket will land. Yet it's so versatile, it can be used at high school and college levels to teach advanced concepts. Includes 2 projectiles.
