![]() Have a look and give it a try! Here we go.Ĭheck our Innovative Collection of DIY Catapult Models using variety of materials 1. Build a Popsicle Stick Catapult: build and experiment with a simple catapult made from wooden sticks and rubber bands to explore the physics at work in a catapult. In this post, I have included 10 different methods of making mini catapults right from your home or school. Let us begin with some STEM challenge activities for kids that allow them to create homemade mini catapults in an excellent way. ![]() Do not worry! Our homemade medieval rocket launchers are not dangerous but still recommend to supervise the children while making the beautiful and creative mini catapults, medieval rocket launchers. Let our kids learn this physical science activity hands-on and in an easy way. Now glue a large popsicle stick to the end perpendicular with spoon. Using the same engineering design process, we are going to make our own mini-versions of catapults in different methods. Make a stack of 6 large sticks and wrap a rubber band around each end. The best process to make these amazing catapults is ‘The Engineering Design Process’, which our ancient and modern engineers utilizes everyday till date. Using the directions on the next page, build your own catapult and try it out. How does a catapult work? Catapult stores up potential energy and releases all at once as kinetic energy which makes a projectile or object throw far away (much further than a human could alone) through the air to the fixed targeted area. Today, we are going to turn our young scientists into little engineers! Yes, we are going to combine STEM, physics, and craft in a surprising way of creating “Catapult”.
