Making a marshmallow catapult

 

This week we had a little STEM challenge (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) . We used popsicle sticks and elastic bands to make a catapult. We used a youtube video to help us learn the steps. We discovered some important concepts like creating leverage for launching our marshmallow.  We had fun trying to see if we could launch the marshmallow high enough to reach our mouth. And then we had fun trying to see how far or high we could launch our marshmallow. It was SO much fun!

  1. Kia orana Room 2, what a cool post on your STEM tasks. I love marshmellows too. That is amazing idea to create marshmellow catapults. You all listened to the video and followed the instructions. You are all very clever learners. I wonder who got the most marshmellows in their mouths??
