Concept module
Launch a projectile, watch the trajectory form, and connect the range, height, and component motion to the launch settings.
Lower learning flow
Build the core picture before you start testing the idea.

What to do here
Start with the explanation and key ideas so the concept has a stable shape before you push on it.
This stage includes
Why it behaves this way
Projectile motion is what happens when an object gets an initial push and then gravity takes over. The horizontal and vertical parts of the motion separate cleanly, which makes the path predictable.
That separation is what makes the module useful. You can change launch speed, angle, and gravity, then watch the trajectory and its component graphs update together.
