Catapult Fun

Teaching Catapults:

I wanted to come up with a fun activity to encompass the ideas and teachings of simple machines for my Grade 5 students.  Catapults are made of levers-which we have been studying all week.

I began with using this website.  It was a great resource to get us started.  From there I provided the materials from the slideshow for building use.

Here are some pictures of the kids building and designing:
