**PRIORITY Week of May 4-10**
This week’s science lesson is a tribute to the Ewok’s catapult that helped save the rebels! Use any household or nature materials to build a catapult. Use the links below for additional support. Your catapult can be as simple or sophisticated as you choose. However, be sure to explain how one or more of Newton’s Laws of Motion applies to your catapult. You can explain in a video or writing.

When completed, submit a picture or video of your catapult in action! There will be a prize winner announced for the “Coolest Catapult” during next class period.

Note: Popsicle sticks are recommended for building your catapult, but you can also build it with sticks from your backyard. If you don’t have rubber bands, ask someone in your house to borrow their hair ties. Most importantly, have fun!

Conduct a survey on a topic of your choice using members of your family/extended family. If they live out of the house, you could contact them via phone, email, Skype, zoom, etc. Show the results in a type of graph. The link below is a great refresher on the different types of graphs. When completed, present your work to your classmates via a zoom class meeting.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How to Choose Which Type of Graph to Use?
When to Use . . .
. . . a Line graph.
Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.
. . . a Pie Chart.
Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.
. . . a Bar Graph.
Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.
. . . an Area Graph.
Area graphs are very similar to line graphs. They can be used to track changes over time for one or more groups. Area graphs are good to use when you are tracking the changes in two or more related groups that make up one whole category (for example public and private groups).
. . . an X-Y Plot.
X-Y plots are used to determine relationships between the two different things. The x-axis is used to measure one event (or variable) and the y-axis is used to measure the other. If both variables increase at the same time, they have a positive relationship. If one variable decreases while the other increases, they have a negative relationship. Sometimes the variables don't follow any pattern and have no relationship.
