Do you think that children's crafts are only for girls? Then you haven’t made a catapult! Here are 3 crafts to make popsicle stick catapults.

Here’s a fabulous STEM activity for kids! Build a working Trebuchet out of craft sticks. You can construct and play with the trebuchet, or take it a step further by printing the recording sheets included in the post. There are two experiments to perform with the trebuchet, and students can record their results. This was […]

Students design and build small catapults to launch candy pieces.

Popsicle Stick Trebuchet: I made this a while back. I won't elaborate much, and I won't post an instructable on it. If you want to make one, base it off this. It throws small objects (i use dice/erasers/dice shaped erasers/stickytac/etc.) about 5 feet. It's composed mainly …

Keep kids busy and engaged - have them build and test a mini trebuchet! It's fun to build and lots of fun to use and experiment with! #summerofSTEM #teachfromhome #STEM #scienceactivity #physics #STEMEducation #remotelearning #scienceteacher #homeschool #afterschool #makerspace #maker

Trebuchet Build: Throughout history, the Trebuchet has been used as a siege weapon for armies during warfare. However, today we will be using it as a fun way to launch tennis balls over 50 feet. The motion of the trebuchet is one that is fluid and beautiful due to …

This is better than a catapult! Make your own medieval siege machine with this STEM lesson plan. Our Girls Who Code Club learned about BASIC computer language and launched candy with our full scale trebuchet at the museum. Now you can use this lesson plan to teach BASIC to your tech enthusiasts and launch marshmallows with a mini-trebuchet. #trebuchet #notacatapult #stem #diy #basic

Playing with your children and having fun doesn’t always have to involve dollhouses or wrestling on the floor. One fun project you can work on with your family is building a catapult with Popsicle sticks.

In my childhood I was dreaming about building my own crossbow. Bow I have made small but powerful crossbow that is shooting. Please subscribe to our channel ...

When I found instructions for making these miniature bows and arrows, at The Brooding Hen, I thought they'd be a fun object lesson to go along with some of the books we're reading about the Wampanoag, this week. I figured the kids could decorate them in their own Native inspired designs, as we read about Massasoit sending out the 5 men to hunt for deer, to add to the harvest feast. But, it turns out, they're such great toys, I think they might derail our studies for tomorrow, as we set up…

Recently the kids and I made popsicle stick catapults from Asia Citro’s newest book, The Curious Kid’s Science Book. The craft stick catapults were super fun and a great learning experience for both my preschooler and 2nd grader! And, after reading through The Curious Kid’s Science Book, we’ve got many more science activities we can’t...

This man is my hero. He gave me a formula.

12 Popsicle sticks, a rubber band, a plastic spoon and some hot glue. Assignment: design a catapult capable of lobbing mini marshmallows into your neighbor's…

The popsicle stick catapult is a great way to introduce your younger students to the magic of science or to get your older ones to investigate various ...

Plan A: craft stick and rubber band catapult (We shoot either mini smooshmallows or fuzzies for ammo.)

Here’s another fun thing to do with popsicle sticks – build them into stick bombs! Popsicle stick bombs are quick to make and fun to throw. The boys thought it was cool that they are kind of like ninja stars, and they loved how the sticks fly apart in all directions when they hit something. […]
