Catapult Project

The science fair is here again. This year Donovan and Daddy made a catapult (more like a trebuchet) to fling 'stuff' and see how far it went. What a great project for a 6 year-old! Dono gathered 16 small objects and guessed how far they would be tossed, and which would go the farthest.
They did the measurements "march madness" style where two objects were competing for the longest toss, the winner got to go to the next round, and so on. Donovan thought that the mint would go the farthest, but it ended up being the paperclip that beat all the others.

And here was his finished science board. Donovan loves science.
