best cannon.

A cannon is basically a form of weapon that requires some sort of gunpowder to fire. Cannons were extremely popular during the World Wars. Cannons have been developed over many years from other projectile weapons to the ones we have now. Many countries have designed different sorts of cannons.

Obviously in our Physics class, we won't be making a real cannon but something similar to that. Mr. Chung showed us an example made from the previous semester. It was basically a few popcans secured by duct tape and at the top, was the object that would be shot. It looked like two foam cups taped together. It was cool to see when it was ready that the cannon actually worked and projected the object.

For the design it looked like a real cannon one that had a wide base that seemed to prop up the whole structure and the cannon was positioned at an angle almost 45 degrees. The cannons we build will be fixed but I remember seeing short clips of real cannons being fired and they were adjustable.

Can't wait to build our own cannon! (:
