Snowball Catapult
Over 2 days (60 min or more each day), students create a catapult out of jumbo popsicle sticks, a water bottle cap and rubber bands. The challenge is for students to launch their snowball (cotton ball) the longest distance while discovering the relationship of potential and kinetic energy in their systems.
