To be honest he was NOT very excited about this and kept wanting to put it off. I was telling him that he was now like Adam & Jamie from Mythbusters. I should have told him that he was my little MacGyver! I am sure he would've like that a bit better.
As you can see from these photos he decided upon a catapult. Angus & Mark were to work on this together but I am sure that Mark did more than his fair share of the design & construction. At least this is complete and a week ahead of schedule. Angus needs to take it in to school next week for 'testing' and assessment. I think it was really good that Angus & Mark got to work together.

It LOOKED good, but will it really throw a tennis ball?!...and how far?! Yeah, I'm that kind of questioning gal! ^_^ I was never into science, so I'm curious to see how well it works!
Mark & Angus tested it in the back yard and the ball definitely went over 3 metres (not sure how far it went in feet). They also were aiming to get the tennis ball into a milk crate around 3 metres from the catapult & were able to get it in crate a few times.
Well excellent then!! Good job Mark and Angus!!
