The Dreaded Trebuchet...

To learn a bit more about the trebuchet and the other methods used during medieval war times, we spent some time on the following websites. Feel free to check them out at home (they are a great review for the history test).

(Be sure to explore the options under offense and defense)

Nova joined with master builders to create a trebuchet...

We will challenge their creative abilities next week, when we put on our trebuchet building hats!
