Teachers, save “Pumpkin Chucking Catapult” to assign it to your class.

Catapults were weapons used in ancient times to hurl stones. You job is to create a catapult that will launch a "pumpkin". You can use the models on pages 1 and 2 or create your own. Take a picture of your catapult and record how far your pumpkin traveled on page 3.
