What is a Catapult?
The siege weapons was used during the Middle Ages included different types of Catapults. These massive Catapults were an invaluable Medieval siege attack weapons. Any machine that hurls an object can be considered a catapult, but the term is generally understood to mean the medieval weapon. The designs of many Catapults worked by a central lever mounted in counterpoise, similar to a see-saw movement.

Technology challenge: 

Create this paper catapult from every day materials. What is required for each group (6 pieces of A4 paper, a long pencil or dowel, one rubber band, bottle cap, hot glue gun).

Science: 

Give a brief presentation (google docs?) on the catapults history, how a catapult works (what simple machine?), what is a lever? What type of energy is stored in a loaded catapult and how this is transferred?

Mathematics: 

Measurement/ Statistics Once catapults are built head out to test them. Remember, for a fair test make sure the ammunition is the same size. Compete against each other recording distances. (Tape measures required)

Once you have had a practise, record the distance of 20 shots to the nearest CM. 

-Record data on a stem and leaf graph.

- Find all data measures including mean, median, mode, range, upper and lower quartile.

- Show this data in a Box and Whisker graph. Compare it with your class mates.
