BUCKEYE WEST Elementary student Trey McCoy launches his marshmallow catapult as part of a STEM project in his fifth-grade science class. Teacher Allison Bartek said her pupils studied motion, force and Newton’s Laws in class and were introduced to the engineering design process for some hands-on learning. They were supplied with plastic spoons, a Styrofoam bowl, rubber bands and tongue depressors to create their contraptions and marked the distance of each landing. Bartek said the students were actively engaged in the learning process and enjoyed the activity.
