Catapult Tutorial
Objective: Show how to make a catapult and fling small items with it.Supplies: 1 bottle cap, 12 large popsicle sticks, 3 rubberbands, hot glue gun, glue stick
Collect 1 bottle cap, 12 large popsicle sticks, 3 rubberbands, 1 hot glue gun, and 1 hot glue gun stick per catapult.
1 COLLECT SUPPLIES
Heat hot glue gun and glue bottle cap to the end of a popsicle stick - leaving enough room for your finger to fit between the end and the cap. Unplug and set hot glue gun to the side to cool.
2 CREATE ARM
Make a base using 10 popsicle sticks. Stack all 10 popsicle sticks on top of each other. Wrap a rubberband around each end twice.
3 MAKE THE BASE
Slide one popsicle stick perpendicular between the bottom two popsicle sticks of the base. Place the popsicle stick with the bottle cap facing up - also perpendicular - on top of the base. Join these at one side by wrapping a rubberband around tightly.
4 ATTACH THE ARM
Place a small item in the bottle cap. Use your finger to push down the popsicle stick and let go to catapult your item into the air.
