5.3 Class blog
We are open-minded, balanced, caring, knowledgeable, principled, thinkers and inquirers, who communicate, take risks, and reflect on our actions. Follow our journey on our final year of the PYP.
5.3 used the scientific method to ask a question about mechanical energy. If we made a trebuchet and launched three different items, which would go furthest? We formulated our hypothesis, gathered our materials, and decided on what would make a fair test. Once prepared we were off to the design lab! We had 7 sticks, four marshmallows (much to Mr. Gallagher's dismay), two elastic bands, and a small amount of tape to work with. Before doing our experiment we needed to design a trebuchet that would launch items using mechanical energy. This proved quite difficult for some, but we all remembered our golden rule of triangles being a strong building shape. Hope you enjoy our pictures! Mrs. J
