Catapult
In this game, kids use popsicle sticks to build a simple catapult and experiment with launching small objects
Materials :
- Popsicle Sticks
- Rubber
- Tape
- Bottle Cap
Challenges:
- Let the kids estimate how far their catapult can launch the objects and see that.
- You can experiment with different things to launch, such as Jenga, pebbles, balls, or paper balls, to see the difference.
- If they have to launch the object to a far distance, what changes will they make in their catapult?
Questions to be asked:
- What differences can be seen when we try launching objects with different shapes, sizes, and density?
- What happens if the rubber band tied in the arc of the launcher is tight?
