https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKIu9yen5nc We spent several days, building, improving and finally testing. We tested for distance, accuracy, and strength.
Problem: Can you and your partner design and create a catapult-like device that is accurate, travels a certain distance and knocks down a tower?
Design Challenge: Design and create a catapult-like device that will undergo three different tests to determine accuracy and power. God tells us what we need to know about life.

Deuteronomy 29:29 Mobius strips: loops of paper named for August Mobius. The paper strips involve an advanced branch of mathematics called topology. This is always fun to watch the students do. Working in groups of four without touching the cups with their hands, they build a pyramid.
