We made our own catapults by following a video using lollipop sticks and a bottle cap and some elastic bands! We had lots of fun even when we put it into practice and using measuring sticks. The children marked their objects such as chalk and then saw which material was better to use to have a better impact on going the furthest. The children problem solved that having something such as chalk would go further than tissue paper. We had lots of fun.
