How far can a pumpkin fly?

 

On Halloween students in Mrs. Boresi’s fifth class were faced with a fun science challenge: creating a successful pumpkin launcher. For this challenge, students designed and built a launching device that propelled a candy pumpkin through the air in an attempt to hit a target. Students followed the engineering process and had a limited number of materials and time to complete the launcher. Overall, the students had a lot of fun creating and launching pumpkins!
