During the month of October the girls in fifth grade have been working on making a catapult. First, the girls used a teacher-created LiveBinder to research. Next, the girls began taking notes, drawing examples, brainstorming ideas, and making prototypes. Finally, it was time to BUILD! They used a variety of tools like hammers, screw drivers, hot glue guns and materials like cardboard, wood, rubber bands, spoons, cups, PVC pipe and much more! The catapults will be finished in the next two weeks. We will then vote on one catapult that we want to scale up.
