This wooden kit assembles into a working re-creation of Da Vinci's spin on the 15th century catapult. Made from natural, untreated wood, pre-cut to fit together, this little beauty is good fun for little engineers (and big ones!)
Use it to demonstrate projectile motion, and explain concepts like potential energy (stored in the rubber bands) and kinetic energy (the energy an object with mass has due to motion). Try adding a fan behind or in front of the catapult, and see how it affects velocity.
Or simply battle it out for fun with your figurines, then display it on your shelf.
Measures approximately 16cm x 45cm x 42cm once assembled.
Packaged box measures approximately 26cm x 20cm x 55cm.
Recommended for ages 14+, younger children may need assistance with assembling.
*Not suitable fro children under 3 years, due to small pieces posing a choking hazard*
