Aim: to find out the acceleration of a marshmallow when catapulted at difference distances

Equipment:

• At least 7 craft sticks (or popsicle sticks)
• 3 rubber bands
• Small marshmallows
• Knife to cut notches on the craft stick *popsicle sticks*
• Milk jug lid
• Glue

Instructions:

1. An adult should carefully cut a set of small notches into the end of one pair of craft sticks about ½-1 inch from the end of each stick.
2. Stack the other five sticks on top of one another.
3. Wrap a rubber band around each end of the pile of the five un-notched sticks.
4. Take one of the sticks with the notch in it and squeeze it between the bottom stick in the stack
5. and the one above it, sliding it all the way
6. through so only the last inch of the notched end is sticking out.
7. Take the final stick and place the notched end over the notched end of the other stick.
8. Take the final rubber band and wrap it around the notched sticks, making sure the band sets in

the groove from the notches.

1. OPTIONAL: Glue a milk jug lid to the end of your launcher to hold your marshmallows in place easier.
2. Your catapult is complete!

Food

This term we have been looking at a cultural unit. So far i have learnt that jam drops are from Britain. I know I have learnt this because we did it in the Britain practical part. Practicals we have made this term are jam drops, pad thai. They are originally from jam drops are from Britain and the pad thai was from Thailand but have made it to New Zealand by the jam drops made it to New Zealand when the British came to New Zealand. Skills I have learnt from the practical are not to overcook or undercook, to season the meal nicely *not too much and not too little* and I will use these in the future by looking at the recipe properly before cooking and not skimming through the recipe so I miss the important work. Working with other people I don't usually work with, we have worked well together except some small arguments over dumb stuff but otherwise, we have all been doing very well in getting our work to a high standard.
