It was a little difficult catching the action shots using the catapult, so you will need to use your imagination, to picture the enjoyment the children had catapulting the bean bags up into the air and attempting to land them inside the buckets.
We started off with one bean bag, however the children decided it was more interesting to add a few more and ended up sending several into the air at once. Perfect opportunity for a little addition and subtraction discussions.
There was also a difference in the weight of our projectiles and the force required to catapult the little bean bags.
We also used the numbers written on the bean bags to discuss and recognise the number.
We also learnt where to stand to avoid getting a bean bag to the head or other people.
All in all it was a super easy way to teach mathematics and a little physics.
