Catapult making

This week for our STEAM challenge we got into groups for the activity we were going to do, in my group were Florence, Fui, Chavda and Taheesha. For this activity we constructed a newspaper mangonel catapult which was one type of catapult we could chose from.. We were given STEAM baskets which have materials that we use for our challenge. In our STEAM basket we had newspaper, tape, rubber bands, scissors, and a little cup with a lid. We first planned out everything and how we were going to make the mangonel and the roles we were given. We made progress and our catapult worked and at the end every group got to test their catapults by trying to hit the target. After everyone got a turn at testing we all sat down and talked about how we can improve our catapult. The strength wasn't as great but our catapult was still good and could function properly.
