 * 4. Science/Math Lesson using Collaborative Tools **

I. **Overview:** Today we will be participating in a science/math lesson that explores parabolic motion.

II. **Lesson**

- Participants will be able to: Describe parabolic motion. Design an experiment using a applet to study parabolic motion Analyze the data obtained from their experiment to draw conclusions
 * Objectives**


 * A. Let's Play Ball!**

 * Applet:**


 * B. Now using the following applet, design an experiment to answer a hypothesis that you develop. Remember to focus on one variable!** Gather in groups of three and begin working.

@Group 1P @Group 2P @Group 3P @Group 4P @Group 5P @Group 6P


 * C. Collaboration**

III. **Reflection**

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using this applet to study parabolic or projectile motion?
