Technological interests relating to my teaching career. This blog is designed to highlight my interests and findings that could be potentially used in lesson plans of various Math, Science, and especially Technology Teachers. It will be designed, but not limited to, a high school level curriculum.
I like how your catapult is coming along! I think if you made the spoon more symetrical it might work better. One thing that help you from our group was to use a metal ruler as a leaf spring. Jamie S. 4AC
I like how the spoon connects to the axel. It was a good idea of using wood throughout for a light weight. There needs to be a clear power mecanism that flings it a good distance
I think we are doing pretty well. One thing we should have done though is to make the bases more parallel so the catapult is more accurate. Joel M. 4BD
weve changed this a lot since the photo was taken as you can see by the final photograph. the base failed and broke and twisted, just a total failure. but we fixed it
I like the effort you put in so far.
ReplyDeleteYet I have a few constructive criticisms.
- The spoon is clunky and small.
- The spoon handle comes out at an angle.
- The base beams are not parallel and slopily put together.
- The wooden dowel holding the spoon in place looks like it would slide and may need stoppers.

I like the design and how you connected the pieces together.
ReplyDelete- overall project could be bigger
- launching spoon looks rushed and slopy
- laucher is not in the center

I like your center axel and I like how your spoon is wooden but, the design seems to small and where is your leaf spring?

like the way the lancher is on the axle
ReplyDeletewhere is your spring do you have a plain

all in all i like it
ReplyDeletei think it was a good idea to use the wood throughout to keep it light
I think the spoon should be smoother on the top

we finally figured out how to create enough tension with the bending arms last class, now to impliment it today...
ReplyDeleteI think we made the base a little small but it should work.

We have made the base more straight since this was taken. Also we cut down on the size of the spoon so it would be less clunky.
