Popsicle Stick Catapult
by Marily Jucal
My lesson plan is entitled: Popsicle Stick Catapult. This lesson focuses on making a catapult out from popsicle sticks. This can be done inside the classroom where the students will be having fun launching their catapult. The teacher may have a choice whether to do this in pairs or individually. The agenda for this plan are as follows: review adding integers and write addition of integer problems with answers on the popsicle sticks, discuss historical background and uses of catapult, name the parts of the catapult, build a popsicle catapult and test it. The students will have to record the distance launch of the marshmallow. It will take an hour to do this since I included reviewing adding of integers and creating problems involving adding integers.
