DFS - Engineering Inventors - Pyramid Catapult

Students explore concepts like potential and kinetic energy, elastic energy, and structural strength. By designing and constructing the catapult using rubber bands, chopsticks, and popsicle sticks, students learn about the importance of a sturdy base, a flexible arm, and energy transfer mechanisms. They test their creations to understand launch distances and explore ways to enhance their catapult's performance, showcasing their engineering skills and problem-solving abilities.
