This weekend, we challenge you to design and create your own catapult system.  Your catapult needs to launch a cotton ball as far as possible. There are no rules…there are no limits to your creativity….bring your design into class on Monday, and we will have a friendly competition to see which catapult can launch the furthest.

Think about what you experienced today with Mrs. McBride. Think about what worked well and didn’t. Apply S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, Rearrange

Good luck, engineers!
