For this project we had to make a truss using toothpicks. For the connectors I cut up carrots so that the toothpicks could stick into the carrots and make my truss. It lasted three books but once i put the heavier book on the truss collapsed. It was fun building the truss and using the carrot.

In this project we made our own catapults out of wood sticks bottle caps and tape. This project was very fun because I not only got to make a catapult but I got to shoot a piece of gum out of it. What I did was cut 6 popsicle sticks in half to make the fulcrum using four the effort using 1 and the base using 1. The bottle cap held the load. The load was a piece of gum like I said before. In conclusion I had a good crafty time building this catapult.
