Catapult building

This week in technology class we got to build something so fun catapults!! When we built the catapults we want to be able to pull the base down and when we realest an object flies out I used a penny. So the first thing we did was get popsicles sticks a bottle cape and some rubber bands seems pretty simple. Here’s what i used

– 12 popsicle sticks

– 3 rubber bands

– 1 bottle cap

– some masking tape

– one penny

 

and that was it so i fist started by stacking popsicle stick and rubber banded Thames together and then i took 1 stick on top of the stack and rubber banded it to create the pull back and resales effect and lastly a taped on the bottle cap. And after that of course I had to test it so I put a penny in the cap and it actually went pretty far and me and my sister had so much fun making games with it. I think this was probably my favorite project in this class.
