Under Siege! Use a Catapult to Storm Castle Walls: explore the settings on the Ping Pong Catapult that control whether the ball will fly into into a castle wall or over it.Two-Stage Balloon Rocket: build a multi-stage balloon rocket and explore Newton's laws of motion.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.Paper Rocket Aerodynamics: explore the design of a straw-blown paper rocket and the variables that affect its flight.Mini Trebuchet: make a mini trebuchet from wooden sticks and craft materials and see how the movement of the lever arm relates to the path and distance of the projectile.Launching Homemade Baking Soda Rockets: learn more about chemical reactions when you blast a homemade rocket into the air using baking soda and vinegar.How is this different than a chemical reaction? Erupting Diet Coke® with Mentos®: explore the physical reaction that happens when you mix Diet Coke and Mentos.Build a Gauss Rifle: use magnets and ball bearings to set up a Gauss rifle and experiment to see how the number of magnet stages relates to the flight distance and velocity of the ball bearings.Bottle Rocket Blast Off!: investigate how the air pressure you create in a bottle rocket before launching changes the maximum height it reaches once launched. Bombs Away! A Ping Pong Catapult: experiment with the Ping Pong Catapult to find the right settings to launch a ball into a target.What catapult settings produce the most consistent results? And medieval knights used them centuries earlier for taking down massive castle walls. You will be manipulating multiple variables in the engine itself to produce changes in velocity, acceleration, distance and more This project is powered by Enable Education. Lessons on forces and energy will guide your exploration and a final challenge will test your knowledge. A naturalistic case study onthe way primary school would-beteachers explain physics wasconducted in Science andTechnology Education. How to Make a Popsicle Stick Catapult Popsicle Stick Catapult Introduction Catapults were mighty handy for pirates in the golden age of piracy (during the 17th century). In this project, you will have a chance to explore the physics involved in a catapult launch. Bet You Can't Hit Me! The Science of Catapult Statistics: gather data about how far balls travel when launched from a catapult, and then use the data to construct a histogram. EXPLANATIONS FOR PHYSICS PHENOMENA GIVEN BY PRIMARY SCHOOL WOULD-BE TEACHERS PUPILS’ MENTAL MODELS OF A PULLEY IN BALANCE (P.The following Science Buddies projects explore the science of launching and catapulting with trebuchets, rockets, catapults, or similar devices and setups:
