Launchers

               




    We made launchers with parnters, in science with popsicle sticks. 
and launched them with diffrent items like noddles, beans, cotton balls, puff balls, and gum balls. It was a fun day. some of us had to go out in the hall way and shoot becauase there was not a lot of room and we kept running in to each other. But the supplies we used were popsicle sticks, hot glue, rubberbands, a plastic spoon, and a sharpie to write how far they went. We put names on it after we were done we had to graph it on a line graph. It was reallly fun!

It was to teach us about mass and how far something will go if it has less mass or more mass. After our expieriment we got to compare our results with other peoples to see how well we all did.  In my opinion we had a lot of fun doing fun expieriments with Mrs.Sims because we get to have fun and learn at the same time. I love doing experiments like that because they are more hands on than just reading it out of a book and doing a work sheet. We got to take home our launchers so we could do our own experiments and play with them. Overall, everybody enjoyed building launchers and doing the experiment.
