Catapult Project
Catapults have been around since 399 B.C. and are still used in the modern world today. From slingshots to military use, catapults can be used to launch planes in the air or shoot food at siblings. In this project, students were to create a catapult based on the knowledge they gained through research and in the end, have it launch a baseball. One could easily go on the internet and research 'how to build a catapult' but the challenge in this project was to only use the knowledge that they gained from ancient catapults, modern catapults, mathematical and physics concepts, and their own creativity.
