In Te Ngahere we have been doing some EPro8.On Tuesday we had to make a catapult. We were split into groups of 4 and 3. When we were building we had to use kinetic energy and potential energy. potential energy is when the object stays still and the energy is stored in the ball and kinetic energy is when the object's energy is let out. We only had a limited amount of resources and we had to use bamboo sticks, rubber bands, tape,string, scissors,and a ping pong ball. My group were struggling a little bit with building the catapult. We had made the structure we just had no clue of what to do for the catapult. We were stuck in the pit. After a while we all started to talk to each other and came up with this really cool idea. Once we had thought of the good idea we took down our catapult just by pulling some sticks out and then we had made the bowl that will hold the ball. After a while we had finished our catapult and it worked really well but not as good as the others but we were happy with it. But next time we need to work on communication. Have you ever made a catapult before?
