This hands-on STEM kit is a working re-creation of Da Vinci's version of the Bombard. Made from natural, untreated wood, all parts are pre-cut and ready to assemble. This is a great gift for kids who like to build things with their hands and explore engineering concepts. You can adjust the angle of the barrel to see how that influences the distance travelled, and graph changes in parabola (for those who love maths!) The balls that are included can be opened - add cotton wool or extra weight to them and see how that also affects trajectory.
Recommended for ages 14+, younger children may need assistance with the build.
*Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts posing a choking hazard
