Hot Diggity Dog!

Get ready for an exciting science project with the hot dog launcher! Test the impact of angle, air pressure, and packaging on hot dog launch/landing success. Record findings in your science journal and adapt for future tests. Bring in supplies and experiment with control and variables to measure impact accurately. Make sure to follow safety guidelines and wear goggles. It's time to shoot some hot dogs and see the results!

  1. Hot Diggity Dog! The Perfect Hot Dog Launcher!

  2. The Dream

  3. Local Version

  4. Our Theme Song

  5. Prepare for Day Two:Bring in supplies

  6. Now it’s your turn

  7. Our constants • 45 degree angle • 30 psi • One person should hold launcher • One person to turn release valve (as quickly as possible counterclockwise) • Must wear goggles • Make sure valve is closed first • Put hot dog in • Add air

  8. Our control experiment • One hot dog • One bun • One piece of foil • Package for launch • Note: The control is the normal used to compare to the changes.

  9. It’s time to shoot some hot dogs! • Brand of hot dog/bun (if hot dog is your variable, you must bring it already boiled!!!) • Setup of how you house your hot dog • Tilt/setup (angle) of launcher • Who will bring in what??????

  10. Terms that will be used: • Control: The normal way of doing something used to compare to the variable • Variable: The one thing that you decide to change in the experiment • Constant: The items that must remain the same in the control

  11. Investigable Question • Will changing the angle of launch, air pressure (CANNOT exceed 40 psi), or packaging most affect a successful hot dog launch/landing? • When adding your prediction, try to “think outside the bun.”

  12. How did you measure up?

  13. What do you need to change? • Keep track of changes in your science journal. • What do you need to bring in for your next tests?

  14. There’s Always Tomorrow!

  15. Let’s Wrap it Up! • Complete your summary in your notebooks. We hope that this will be one that we will truly “relish”. • Don’t get yourself in a pickle, there’s no time to “Ketchup”!
