Physics Day Project with My Daughter. Concept: Build and test a trebuchet-type of launching device capable of flinging a practice golf ball Materials: Use only materials that would have been available to an inventive Medieval inventor: glue, metals, wood, natural fiber. (no plastics or rubber) Size: when the device is in it's most compact position with the throwing arm completely assembled, it must be able to fit into a cube that is 0.5m on each side. Scoring: Distance and accuracy.
