As part of the social studies curriculum, sixth graders learn about the middle ages.  As part of this unit, students learn about catapults and trebuchets.  Given some various household items, students in Mrs. Bair's class constructed their own catapults to lauch marshmallows.  Students had to first design their catapult, and then make any adjustments necessary after trying them out.
