Projectile Data Lab Simulation

Projectile Data Lab

Topics

• Data
• Measurement
• Variability
• Projectile Motion

Sample Learning Goals

• Visualize and hear data resulting from real-world randomness in launch speed and angle
• Attribute data variability to physical properties of the apparatus
• Design experiments to investigate the effect of different launch parameters
• Compare sampling distributions and explore the effect of sample size

Standards Alignment

Common Core - Math

• HSS-ID.A.3

  Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

• HSS-ID.A.1

  Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

• HSS-IC.A.2

  Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?

• HSS-IC.A.1

  Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
