Catapults - using evidence

 We are Scientists in Room 8. Recently we have been researching catapults and seeing how far we can get a pom pom to travel. Many used the statement "My pom pom travelled the furthest!" - we delved deeper and asked what is the evidence? How do I know my pom pom has travelled the furthest?

Using non-standard units of measure - strides, placing rulers together and estimation were our most popular method for measuring. It helped us to think about our statements and if we could prove them.

What do you think of our designs?
