Mr. Alexander's science classes explored the flow of energy, potential and kinetic energy by building catapults to launch an assault on a castle and its knights. The students built a catapult and had six attempts to earn points, observing launch patterns and adjusting trajectories and catapult tension after launches. Points were earned for hitting the castle, landing in the castle and knocking over knights. Lots of great learning and fun! Good job, Mustangs!
