Are your students learning physics by making trebuchets, catapults, and ballistae? Why not? Students in the Sioux Central (IA) Community Schools are and they’re having a blast! (literally)

Are you not entertained?! Great work, Dan Strohmyer!

    Yep, build Trebuchets for simple machines and energy unit, and Water Rockets for conservation of momentum (and stability, energy, torque, aerodynamics…) Used to build bridges for Statics but have switched to the West Point Bridge competition
