So this last few weeks, we have been learning how to do a science project.  We asked the question “Does the mass of an object affect the distance it goes when catapulted?”  We each built our own catapults from craft sticks.  Then we proceeded to test our hypothesis.  We all believed that the greater the mass of an object, the less distance it would fly.  We used Easter eggs to conduct our experiment.  One was empty, one was filled with tissues, one was filled with rice and one was filled with screws.  After much cataputling (is that even a word??), we found that we were correct in our guess.  The empty egg flew across the living room, while the one filled with screws only went a foot or so.  It was fun seeing science in action.
