Last week, the students constructed two catapults. The difference between the catapults is where the pivot point is located. This week, the students were asked to predict which catapult would launch the wheel the furthest, and then hypothesize as to why. Then, each group was given measuring tools, and collected data after testing each catapult three times. Finally, the students compared their results. As the students completed their testing, they created diagrams of the catapults they created. They used the app "ShowMe".
