Engineering Design

i. Catapult : 

Catapult :

a device that can throw objects at a high speed :

• In the past , armies used catapult to hurl heavy at enemy fortification.

• On that type of aircraft  carrier , a catapult was used to help launch aircraft.

Catapult itself including :

• A locking pin

• 3 rubber bands

• A small white plastic ball

• Make a popsicle stick catapult with a spoon which is especially great for holding like balls

• 3 Popsicle sticks

Building ding a catapult involves understanding basics Science concept .

Creating a popsicle catapult uses Technology as it involves designing a simple machine.

Designing & building a functional catapult requires problem - solving skills which is the engineering component.

ii. Role-Play Activity  

The Catapult is a role -playing activity that helps participants 

prepare for challenges by looking at them from different perspective. 

iii. Function tree and Morphological chart  

iv.Function Clustering

v. Material Selection based on Sustainability
