While the technology may be ancient, the real-world concepts and lessons that can be learned through designing and building catapults is still very much alive today! Through this hands-on design challenge, students will learn how catapults have evolved over time as they design and build their own modern-day projectile throwing devices under real-world specifications and constraints.
Through this lesson, students will adventure into the science behind catapults of centuries old and modern day. Through hands-on activities, students will create their very own catapult prototypes that combine simple machines and physics to make a projectile move.
