Catapult Craziness

When we made our popsicle stick catapults we fired Jaffas and marshmallows in the hall. We lined up along the blue line . Mr Burt stretched out the tape measure from the blue line to see how far they went. 

A lot of jaffas rolled a long way. Some jaffas cracked into little pieces when they hit the floor. Mine cracked into 5 little pieces, and mine cracked into thirds.

I think the popsicle stick ones fired further than the peg catapult because the lever was longer and it had more power because it was bendy. A lot of them hit the wall so we couldn't tell whose went the furthest. Others hit the ground and rolled but no one measured from where it hit. They measured from where they stopped rolling to.
