desktop catapults
« on: April 17, 2020, 09:29:11 pm »
Here's something some of you might get a kick out of:  Working mini-catapults made from popsicle sticks, hot glue, and string.  I did it with fifth and sixth graders a few years back, so they're fairly simple, but easy to modify and tweak for better performance.  Maybe a way to kill some time while locked up.  Enjoy.

(if you can open the instructions in google docs, the wonky formatting clears up and they're a lot easier to read)
