4th Grade Science Friday: Catapult Engineering Challenge 

On May 16, the 4th Graders enjoyed their Science Friday activity. The event was conducted by the Dallin STEAM Team with the help of additional parent volunteers. The activity was a Catapult Engineering Challenge. The students teamed up and used household materials (cardboard, cups, rubber bands, pencils) to design and build catapults to launch a foil ball. Then the kids tested their designs with various challenges involving distance, precision, and strength. We think the event was 'on target' and the kids had a lot of fun. 

 

Thanks to the parent volunteers for planning, preparing and leading the activities: Rina Zelmann, Kristin Pennarun, and Dennis Mark. Appreciation to the additional parent volunteers for helping setup, facilitate, and clean-up this enriching activity: Joe DiClemente, Jen Gilbert, Jaclyn Kaster, and Badr Tejado. And thanks to the 4th grade teachers for helping to coordinate and ensure success.
