Cotton Ball Catapult

Cotton Ball Catapult

This week Room 5 & 6 have been making Cotton Ball Catapults. I made mine with Natasha & Odin. We made lots of prototypes and this is our final prototype.

Then we went on to make our catapult. We used lots of materials like plastic spoons, popsical stick, rocks, a box, wool and tape.

Then we put all of our materials together and made this awesome catapult.

Today we launched them and ours only went high. Ours went 2 meters high and we won $50 in class money. But for the other things we failed.

Here are our results from our Catapult Competition

In this process I learnt how to make a catapult.

When I made a catapult I liked practicing to see if it worked.
