Hi bloggers, this week in Te Ngahere for maths we did a Epro 8 challenge. The challenge was about two different types of energy and making catapults. The two types of energy are called kinetic energy and potential energy. Potential energy is when something is still and kinetic energy is when it takes the potential energy and makes it move. We had four tasks to do, my group and I found it easy to do the first task because the criteria said to build a device that can launch a ping pong ball at least three meters before touching the ground. My group and I found it challenging to do the second task because we had to modify our device. Only the judge can touch our device with their pinky finger and then launch the ping pong ball at least three meters in the air before touching the ground. The next time we do this I think our group could read the criteria more carefully.
Have you ever done a challenge that was complicated???
Hi Azure my name is Ebony and I am a year seven in Te Ngahere with you. I enjoyed reading your blog post about Epro 8 and making a catapult. It was very interesting reading about the different energies that were used while making your catapult. I wished you had added a DLO about the 2 different energies. Have you ever seen a real catapult before?
