Mrs Brieseman gave us a challenge to make a catapault for a very light cane ball using the following resources
2 size 64 (89 mm long x 6 mm wide x 1 mm thick) rubber bands
1 x A4 card
4 sheets A4 photocopy paper (or 2 sheets A3 paper)
4 iceblock sticks
4 drinking straws
2 paper clips
1 x 10 m roll sellotape
scissors (for construction only)
Once we completed this challenge (with various results!) we were given more resources to help us understand the science behind our designs- extra large iceblock sticks, stronger card, more straws, and heavier balls.
