Catapult

Tags

Overview

Build miniature models of ancient war catapults that can shoot paper balls.

In this activity, students work around the concepts of stability and power. They find ways to get their catapult to generate enough power while making sure it has a sturdy structure that doesn’t fall apart, and a stable base that doesn’t topple over. This activity focuses on getting students to test their prototypes and modify their designs based on new insights.
