Challanges

  1. Let the kids estimate how far their catapult can launch the objects and see that.
  2. You can experiment with different things to launch, such as Jenga, pebbles, balls, or paper balls, to see the difference.
  3. If they have to launch the object to a far distance, what changes will they make in their catapult?

Questions to be asked

  1. What differences can be seen when we try launching objects with different shapes, sizes, and density?
  2. What happens if the rubber band tied in the arc of the launcher is tight?
