Today in Science we continued to work on our second catapult. Annalise and I tried many different things to get our catapult to sling farther, but none of them worked, so we just stuck to our original plan. One thing we tried was this. We got a jumbo popsicle stick (four) and taped them under the spoon, to hopefully make our catapult go up farther instead of going straight across the room. That didn't work at all. It actually made it go too far! Annalise and I are working pretty well together. We found out that I cannot work the catapult right, so during the competition tomorrow, she will be doing the slinging.
