Catapult making

Whetu Catapult Challenge


The things that I used to make my catapult were: five rubber bands to stablise everything, seven popsicle sticks for foundation, a plastic spoon for the pompom holder and a pompom to shoot out of our catapult.


To make my catapult I worked with Lola because I know I can work really well with her and we get along nicely and both have great ideas.


The most challenging part was... getting everything to stay with the rubber bands because they were very fiddly and I don't have much experience with them.


Our best results were about a meter which we didn't exactly hope we would get but that's okay because we can always try again.


Overall I think that we could have done a bit better with our catapult and it's strength because we always broke the spoons or made the catapult worse then it was for some reason but I thought we had a great time making it!
