Meetings

Date	Work Accomplished	Members Present
5/13	In the computer lab we worked on researching the physics aspects behind the trebuchet and created a blog.	Jackie & Emily
5/15	We met to go over designs and begin gathering materials. We found scrap materials at Jackie’s Grandparents’ house and in Emily’s garage. We began cutting wood on this day.	Jackie & Emily
5/16	We actually started constructing the trebuchet and cut wood as needed. We built up to the towers.	Jackie & Emily
5/18	Emily finished construction of the trebuchet as Jackie was out of town. Some trials were launched and adjustments to the counterweight were made.	Emily
5/19	We met up to film the three trials needed. To reduce friction, we tried using a different, silkier material for the sling, but after no improvement was reached, we returned to the previous material. The trials averaged a distance of around 37 feet.	Jackie & Emily

This is a log of the times Jackie and Emily worked together on this project. The meetings lasted for several hours for the construction part of building the trebuchet.
