Trajectory Lab

*See Jessica's post for our trajectory lab (we made a video together)

Below are the guiding questions:
1. How can the angle of impact of a bullet in a wall be used to determine other critical information about the scene of the crime?

It helps us to know what angle the bullet hit the object at, which helps forensic anthropologists figure out the height of the shooter as well as other important details like where they shot the bullet from.


2. How might the lab be helpful in preparing you for the mission?

Because we might come across some bullet holes on the mission and we can use what we learned in this lab to figure out the height of the shooter and where they shot the bullet from. It also helps us learn about trigonometry in case we have to do a variation of the lab involving some other type of hole.
