  6. Select an Approach Make a wooden catapult with wood pieces binder together with screws and a rubberband to power it.

  7. Make a model or prototype

  8. Test and Evaluate the design using specifications The catapult was successful and the only problem was the rubberband snapped which can easily be replaced

  9. Redefine the design I simply replaced the snapped rubberband

  10. Solution My design was very successful and was in compliance with all criteria

  11. Results The catapult was very durable and had power exceeding that of many other catapults
