Winning the Battle of Pelennor Fields Project
This is a PBL project that used the "Lord of the Rings" book/film as the basis for a study of kinematics. It was specifically designed to help students increase their depth of knowledge for one-dimensional motion and two-dimensional projectile motion so that they could successfully fend off a hypothetical attack of the ork army (simulated as part of the public exhibition). The project also allowed students to build a working catapult or trebuchet.
