Making catapults Class 6

As part of our science topic on forces, we built catapults today and investigated the forces involved in firing our ammunition. We also devised our own questions to investigate with a focus on recognising and controlling variables.
One pupil took the initiative to make a crossbow at home over half term and we were able to fire it in school today. Next, air and water resistance. So boats and planes and parachutes and ....... We love science.
