Carolina STEM Challenge : Paint Stirrer Catapult Student Mini Kit

Great for small groups or for students who are learning from home!
Grades 6-12. This mini kit was designed to excite and engage students while they learn about physical science concepts. Explore simple machines, levers, work, and mechanical advantage with hands-on activities. Using paint stirrers, students build their own catapult and launch cork projectiles. During this design challenge students are encouraged to brainstorm ways to modify the catapult in order to increase accuracy, height, or distance. Materials support a single student or a small group of students. Includes instructions.
