Crazy Catapults!

While most of the class designed ways to drop an egg without it breaking, a couple of groups chose the catapult challenge! They had to come up with a way to throw an object across the room...or across the court if we got a bit worried about hitting things inside! Here are their designs:

Another group did some work at home and came back with this swish design:

Both groups are going 'back to the drawing board' to try little things to improve their catapults but they did a fabulous job and we enjoyed watching them a lot!
