This month we are going to design catapults that will FLING autumn-ish projectiles 6 feet or more!
Catapults use weights and levers to send large rocks or
other things into the air. They were commonly used as weapons during the Middle
Ages. Catapults do not throw as far as modern weapons do and are not useful in
modern warfare.
Let's design mini-catapults!
Use items from around your house to design a free-standing mini catapult that will launch October themed projectiles farther than 6 feet! Projectiles can be anything related to fall - apples, mini pumpkins, acorns, fall-colored pompoms, Halloweeny stuff, etc.
Send Mrs. Sol pictures or movies of your experiment to share in class.
