Investigate physics using technology from medieval times! Build six sleek, updated models of catapults, trebuchets, and other medieval launchers. These classic siege weapons from the middle ages also happen to be great tools for teaching physics, including lessons in force, energy, motion, and projectiles. A catapult is a medieval ballistic device that uses mechanical rubber bands and counterweights to fling projectiles — in this case, foam balls — into the air.
The 32-page, full-colour manual has illustrated step-by-step instructions for building the models and conducting the experiments. Build 6 functional models of catapults, crossbows, and other medieval siege weapons that launch foam balls and soft darts
Learn mechanical physics with simple experiments that demonstrate topics like force, energy, motion, and projectiles.
