Catapult STEM Project for the Whole Class: Students build their own mini catapults and test launch distance and trajectory. Activity fits within a single class period. Designed for classrooms, after-school programs, summer camps, and libraries.
Complete Supplies for 30 Builds: Includes 350 large craft sticks, 600 mini rubber bands, 75 3M adhesive squares, 30 cups, and foam cubes. All materials are organized and ready to hand out — no additional supplies needed.
Hands-On Physics in Action: Students adjust the fulcrum position to change launch trajectory, directly applying concepts of potential and kinetic energy, leverage. Encourages structured experimentation and critical thinking.
Supports Independent Student Work: Step-by-step instructions allow students to build and test with minimal teacher intervention. Manageable for one instructor with a full class of 25-30 students.
Durable, Reliable Components: Craft sticks and hardware are designed to hold up through repeated launches. Consistent results across all student builds reduce troubleshooting time.
