We ahave took more measurements about the catapults so now we will run some more test

We calculated measurements of the catapults.

We built catapults with hot glue, craft sticks, and rubber bands.

Today we measured the how much  degrees you pull the catapult

We have been taking calculations on how much we pull back the catapults.  We are also making another catapult.

Model 2 launches paper ball ,weighing 0.3 grams, approximately  4.5 yards. Model 3 shoots the same paper ball, 4.3 yards. Model 4 shoots the same paper ball 4.4 yards. Model 2 shoots a maker cap, weighing 9.7 grams, approximately 5.3 yards. Model 3 shoots the same cap approximately 5 yards. Model 4 launches the same cap 4.9 yards. Model 2 shoots things the farthest. By the way when we test are catapults we pull it all the way back to get the maximum amount of force. When you pull back model its about an 11 degree angle. Model 3 when pulled back its about 13 degree angle. Model 4 when pulled back makes an 30 degree angle.

Today we made a new catapult and it is pretty effective.We tested the distance at witch the catapult made the object into the basket.Model 2 is the best catapult and the new catapult is the 2nd best model.The new catapult shoots straight up and not straight.
