Week of November 10
Week 12 
11/10  52Monday•  This week we will begin the building of trebuchets and this week’s quiz grade will be based on the designs submitted no later than Friday

•  The maximum height of the trebuchet frame (excluding the arm) is 20 inches.
•  All trebuchets should be designed to add or delete weight from the bucket
•  Groups cannot be greater than three students
•  Full plans must be approved before any building can begin
•  A full set of plans of each individal part (a schedule) must also be included.  The point of this part of the design is such that this schedule of parts design could then be sent to a third party that would be able to manufacture these parts even if they did not know what the fianl product was or how it was assembled
•  In addition to adding or deleting weight, the group must decide on one independent variable that can be changed (Articulating versus static weight bucket, length of throwing arm, position of throwing arm, length of net, release point of net, wheels versus no wheels)
