The activity has two main parts: 1.) Gathering data and 2.) Analyzing data and forming models/equations. The students will use computational tools to capture the motion of an Angry Bird in its world, record the data, determine the mathematical functional form of the data, and ultimately derive the gravitational acceleration on the Angry Birds’ world.
