In this challenge, youth will design and build a catapult that can launch a small projectile. Challenge 6 introduces the STEM concepts of potential and kinetic energy and targets the life skills of record keeping and personal safety. CHALLENGES • Create targets for their catapults using paper, bowls and pencils/markers to make a launching range or game. • Practice measurement and division by calculating the catapult projectile’s (pompom’s) overall speed. To do this, measure how far it traveled in inches (or another unit of measurement). Engineering Design Process - Catapult Challenge Problem: There has been a plane crash over the Pacific Ocean.
