Mrs. Hillโs Science class wrapped up our unit on Forces and Simple Machines by building and testing Catapults. The kids did an amazing job and really surprised me with their creative ideas for the catapults. They had a blast testing them and then competing with each other to see whose was the most accurate and precise and whose had the most Force to go the longest distance!!
