depuis combien de temps cette activite existe-t-elle/  how long has this activity been in use: 1.5 years

la durée de l'activité / duration of the activity:  30-40 minutes

description de l'activité / description of the activity : Multiple rounds single impact artillery (probably not appropriate for non-military students). I explained the concept of multiple rounds single impact artillery. This is a technique where a single canon fires multiple rounds consecutively, in such a way that all the rounds hit the same target simultaneously. I showed them a video of soldiers implementing the technique. I then gave them a problem related to this (relatively hard projectile motion question), and asked them to solve it in teams.

l'objectif de l'activité / the goal of the activity : Practice projectile motion and problem solving skills
