One of my favorite websites is Thinkgeek.com. I love looking at all of the cool gadgets they have for sale. I recently found a fun catapult toy which will help teach physics lessons. The direct link to the toy will be at the bottom of this post. I find this idea fun because it can help teach students the Engineering Process, as well as how to judge and evaluate trajectory. Overall, small, fun lessons like these can use both computer technology and mesh it together with old world technology to provide for a great lesson!
