PUMPKIN CHUNKIN
Record-Eagle/Jan-Michael Stump
Blaine Barkovich, 13, launches a preliminary round pumpkin for eventual champion Team Orange during Friday's Pumpkin Chunkin' contest at Kalkaska Middle School. The 117 competing eighth grade students formed teams to apply what they had learned in their International Baccalaureate Forces in Motion unit to build one of three types of launching machines - trebuchet, catapault or ballista - and see who could launch a softball-sized pumpkin the farthest using what they had learned about Newton's Law, projectile motion and gravity.
