Shop Class: [1/30]

When the students arrive, they see the familiar backdrop of the scrap yard in place.

The only thing that would seem different about it would be the large pile of tennis balls sitting in middle of it.

"All right, kids. Today's assignment is to build a tennis ball cannon gun using items you might find here in the scrapyard."

ETA:

The following students will get detention if they do not supply an OOC or IC excuse for missing two classes in a row by next class period (Weds).

Izzie comes into class, and after scanning the scrap yard begins to play around with some of the items she's pulled from the heap. Prying off the plastic casing on an old toaster, Izzie decides to use this as her launching device. The spring loaded mechanism is perfect. Pop the tennis ball in, press the button, wait a few seconds, and bam! Now all she has to do is figure out how to disconnect the electricity.

After pulling some old pieces of cardboard out of the heap, Izzie sets to work fashioning the rest of her cannon. She secures the cardboard to the toaster using liberal amounts of duct tape.

She places a ball in, hits the trigger, and watches as the ball flys a mere three feet in the air.

She raises her hand. "Mac, I'm done. I don't think it'll ever be used to launch anything at other people, but it works."
