How To Make A Popsicle Stick Catapult
Want to make your own mini catapult at home? Check out this video tutorial!
In this video, Jessie explains how to make a catapult using popsicle sticks, wooden skewers, and a few other household items.
When you're done building, you can try catapulting various small objects. See how accurate you can be with your shots, and see if you can make adjustments to your design to make your catapult stronger or sturdier. Just be safe! And never point your catapult at another person.
Materials needed:
Popsicle sticks
Wooden skewers
Straw
Rubber band
Small plastic cup
Scissors
Masking tape
Projectiles (something safe to launch)
When you’re done with this project, we’d love to see it! Send us a picture at [email protected], upload to social media using #virtualbgc, or comment below!
Have fun!
