Da Vinci Trebuchet

Today in gifted,we did a really cool experiment called Da Vinci Trebuchet.
We got a marsh mellow, a choclate bell,a ordiment,and a pepper mint.
First, we would weight all of the objects.
Then, we would launch all the items in a Trebuchet and measure how far they flew. A Trebuchet is something that was used in the mid evil times.
Finally, we watched a video on two kids and what they did with a Trebuchet.
While Mrs.Phillips was there.
We all had alot of fun.
