Catapult Engineering 6-in-1

Dive into the world of medieval technology and explore physics in a fun way! This amazing kit lets you construct six modernized, sleek models of catapults, trebuchets, and other medieval launchers. These age - old siege weapons are not only fascinating relics of the past but also excellent tools for teaching physics concepts like force, energy, motion, and projectiles. A catapult in this kit uses mechanical rubber bands and counterweights to hurl foam balls into the air. The 32 - page, full - color manual comes with vividly illustrated, step - by - step instructions for building the models and running experiments. As a great bonus, it includes folded cardboard blocks so you can build a pretend castle wall and test your skills to see if you can knock it down.

Using this product is super easy. First, grab the 32 - page full - color manual. It has pictures that show you how to build each of the six models, one step at a time. Follow those steps carefully to assemble your catapult or trebuchet. Once it's built, load a foam ball into the launcher. Pull back on the part that holds the ball, using the mechanical rubber bands and counterweights, and then let go to send the ball flying. When building the pretend castle wall with the folded cardboard blocks, make sure they're placed firmly so they don't fall over easily. As for safety, keep your hands away from the moving parts when the launcher is in use. Also, don't aim the launcher at people or breakable things. To maintain your kit, store it in a dry place. If the rubber bands start to look worn out, you might need to replace them. Have a blast exploring medieval engineering and physics with this kit!
