STEM Unit: Catapults in Action!

Reminder 01: If you need any help or have any questions, please email me at [email protected]
Reminder 02: Since STEM is a hands-on course using resources at school that I cannot send home, if you are absent I will simply excuse you from any grade that I take while you are out. So, when you are absent focus on work for your core content classes (Math, Science, ELA, and Social Studies).
Mission: 

Unit Objective 01:  Students will practice the engineering design process by constructing and testing a model catapult.  

Unit Objective 02:  Students will examine cause and effect connections by assembling and firing a Vex Robotics catapult.

 

By the end of this unit, students will build and fire model catapults with the goal of shooting a projectile into a target box three times in a row.
