Simple Catapult Simulation:
1. Students will be divided into teams
2. Students will get 2 minutes to shoot as many puffs into their containers as possible.
3. Students will be sitting using plastic spoons to fire their puffs.
4. Any puffs that make it into the cups count as one point, any additional that land in the cup(s) multiply that cup.
(ie: 1 cup has 3 puffs in it that cup would score 9 (3 x 3) another cup may have 5 puffs in it it would score 25 points)
5. The team with the most points at the end wins!
6. I will rank the teams by all of 6th grade.
