Year 3 right on target

Year 3 have enjoyed being engineers in the STEAM space this week. They fired projectiles using rubber band catapults “Into the Woods”, with the aim to be right on target. The only problem was that there were many tubes, bottles and rubber bands to choose from, some of which were far better for the job than others. Year 3 had to select carefully, assemble their launcher and then test to see if it worked. They then needed to make many adjustments, changes and improvements. It was fantastic to see such impressive engineering going on. If you would like to try the activity at home you can find the instructions on the excellent ExpeRimental website here.
