In learning about revolutions, Mr. Hunt's class had an activity where they created different styles of catapults. Students worked in groups to try and design a catapult that would launch the farthest and be consistent. Many different styles and variations were tried to come up with the perfect catapult. Their catapults were then put to the test in battle. They were placed on opposite sides of a "battlefield" and had to launch past the markers on the other teams side.  This is part of an ongoing effort of Mr. Hunt to incorporate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) into his classroom and allow his students to have more hands-on experiences in learning.
