3A participated in a Valentine Catapult Challenge this week. We explored different ways to build catapults using simple materials and launched valentine candy as our projectiles. Both Lila and Xavier made catapults that launched their heart candy 400 cm or 4 m across our classroom. Try this challenge at home. Google “how to make a catapult for kids”. Decide what materials you will use. Choose a small candy to launch at home with your families. Can you beat 3A’s first place launches?
