This week in Inquiry the class has started investigating forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion.
We had a contest to see which group could build a working catapult with a given set of materials in a very limited amount of time from design to testing to working model. Everyone had lots of fun and stray cotton balls were frequently seen flying through the air – having deviated from their intended course!
Great fun! Here are the winners:
First place: S & A with a distance of 3m
Second place: G, K, & P with a distance of 2m 65cm
Third place: S, D & M with a distance of 2m
We’ll be taking what we’ve learned into the coming week as we continue our investigations.
Take Care!
Mr. L
