A great lesson to follow up the Simple Machines lesson is to have students use their knowledge of levers to create catapults.
The purpose of the lesson is to apply what they know about simple machines and levers and learn by doing.
The following worksheets have been created for this lesson.
Teacher may use a target with points labeled on it. For my class, we used sidewalk chalk to create the target and students placed their catapult two feet away from the target.
