  1. THE AMAZING PHYSICS PROJECT!!

  2. Can You Say TRE-BU-CHET? • The whole point of this project was to apply our physics skills to a real life problem…building a trebuchet. • The first thought that came into ALL our heads was…SWEEEET. • What we didn’t know was the sweat and blood that was needed to be put into this kind of project. Screws will be lost, wood will be broken, and kids will be having the times of their lives.

  3. Design • We looked at the two trebuchets that were in the classroom. • We also looked online for trebuchet designs. • We looked at all what we looked at, and decided to do the one that we thought would be the best, and altered the design a tad bit. Which was the one by Zack Starr.

  4. The List • Well this is our item list, and at the end wasn’t the same amount of materials that we actually used. • As for the wheels, they made us go way over our budget, so we had to get rid of them. • And we didn’t get washers, we found some on the floor that were unused (supposedly). • The exact final cost, and the amount of materials used, isn’t known.

  5. SUPPLIES!! • Well how else would you build a trebuchet without buying supplies for it?! • So we all went to Lowes, wait, Evan went to Lowes to get the supplies need to build the trebuchet. Look at that man working hard

  6. Yes, finally, BUILDING! • We knew what to do right away when starting to build. • The base was the first thing I think all of us built.

  7. DISCUSSING • We all obviously saw something we didn’t like. • Just look at their faces…

  8. discussing AND building • We got to workin’ pretty quick.

  9. FEET • Just look at all those beautiful feet. • Oh, and there’s the base too.

  10. Hard working kids • That’s a lot of wood soon to be trebuchets • Seems to me the guys and gals separated for some reason in that group… Hess

  11. GO GIRLS! • Well look at those guys helping out! • Yes, great teamwork.

  12. Marking territory • Just a Physics student’s way of saying, “This is my wood.”

  13. MUAHAHA, CIRCULAR SAW • Couldn’t cut the wood out in the rain, didn’t want to get the wood wet.

  14. Yea team! • Cody’s got that quick hand.

  15. It’s the arm • Hess and Sims finally get on the key part of a trebuchet…THE ARM

  16. Whoops • Well about this time we thought, “Hey, maybe we should get some bolts for the trebuchet…” • So the girls went to Lowe’s and got the supplies we needed, good call ladies.

  17. WTF!??! • Yea Evan, good job, trying to cut a wire in two with a drill. • Evan’s teammates watch in amusement

  18. The box… • Well um, the box, can’t really say much about it

  19. Great job team! • Well there it is, they got it on.

  20. And finally, LAUNCH TIME • Well it was hard work getting the trebuchet down to the field and set up. • We brought some home weights for the counterweight.

  21. She looks proud of her trebuchet No, sorry, NOW’S launchtime She looks like she couldn’t care Duuhhh… Thanks Grant for the blockage She doesn’t look too proud • HAHA, sorry,this slide is just to laugh at their faces.

  22. Bah, short range division • There’s our piece of

  23. Data Inconsistency = bad trebuchet Strong correlation? Yea, pretty close.

  24. Interpretation • Well I think it was pretty cool how all the groups got about the same amount of supplies, and they all varied in sizes and designs very much. With our trebuchet, I think we could’ve done better with, there’s that word again, CONSISTENCY.

  25. Thanks for having us to this project Mr. T!! El Fin We had tons of fun!!
