Intersession Final Project By: John Fay
2
What I Learned in Intersession In my intersession, we built catapults, trebuchets, rockets, slingshots, and bridges. I learned the most from building the catapults, trebuchets, and bridges.
3
CATAPULTS A catapult can be used to describe any machine that hurls a projectile. I learned what I need to build one of my own, and I learned how to stop the catapult from following through our stop.
4
TREBUCHET A trebuchet is a version of a catapult that has an arm that is swung by a counter-weight. I learned what these were and how to configure one of my own.
5
BRIDGES Building the bridges was one of the harder projects. I learned that you need very many supports for a stable bridge. If I was to do this project again, I would be able to build a better more sturdy bridge now that I know some of the problems my group encountered.
6
MOST INTERESTING ACTIVITIES The activities I found interesting was the catapults, the trebuchets, the rockets, and the slingshot. I found these very interesting activities mostly because we all got to go outside.
7
WHAT ACTIVITIES WERE MOST CHALLENGING The most challenging activities to me were the catapults and the bridges. The catapult was breaking after launching the tennis ball a few times, and the bridges were just hard to glue everything together and get it to stay stable
8
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE INTERSESSION I liked many of the activities such as, the catapult building and launching, the slingshot launching into the soccer field, and the rocket painting and launching.
9
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT INTERSESSION I didn’t like the trebuchet building because I kind of got worn out by the catapult building, and I didn’t like folding and gluing everything on the bridge.
10
WHAT I THINK OF THIS INTERSESSION Overall I thought this intersession was very fun with building all the projects and learning all these new structures.
