Homeschool Science Experiments

Throwing and catching a ball is something you might easily do with a friend, without giving it much thought. You just "know" how to move your arms, hands, and fingers to throw and catch. Can you imagine building a machine to throw a ball instead? How would it know to throw the ball a certain distance? How could another machine catch the ball without dropping it? This project provides a fun engineering challenge: use common materials to build a "launcher" to throw the ball and a "receiver" to catch it. (Source: Science Buddies).
