    The Young Engineers series is a collection of STEM Projects that I developed while teaching K-6 students. Every project uses the same set of inexpensive materials so it's cost effective for parents and educators to do multiple projects or teach large groups. Printable lesson plans and project picture sheets are available at www.stem-inventions.com/lesso...
    Pyramid Catapult:
    This is the easiest catapult project to build, yet it's incredibly durable and effective due to it's pyramid structure. Just transform 2D triangles - which are strong in themselves - into a super-strong 3D shape!

    Thank you so much! I have a major grade where I have to build a catupalt in 2 days with only 45 each day! Thanks! I’ll tell this to my group so we can fix it!❤❤

    Thank you so much for the video! It was such a wonderful craft with my 7 year old! We tested the catapults with different elastic bands, arm lengths and objects and we did a number of trials to make sure our results are consistent.

    I’m going to do this with my physics class and have them measure the angles as well as the resultant. Simple but awesome!!! Thank you

    Thanks for this video. Looking for a catapult project for my fourth graders who are learning about The Middle Ages. I like the simplicity of the project and how kids could use your video on Chromebooks to learn at their own pace. It looks like it would work well and I appreciate your sharing this video.

    @memesoverheaven5128 Před 6 měsíci

    wow what a great design! but how can i make it so that I don't need to hold it when i pull down the arm? Should I add little weights to the front to make it "stable"? What I mean by stable is that I shouldn't need to use my hand to hold the catapult down when I pull my arm down. the catapult should be still staying and not moving even if i pull the arm down without my hand on the catapult. In this case, what should i do?

    would this work to launch small bean bags. We have an engineer project coming up soon and I would like to use this design for it. The only difference is we do not have small bowls available like this. They are larger bowls, like 5x the size. Either that or a plastic spoon.

    • @Bldgrn034
      @Bldgrn034 Před rokem

      we also can not use our hands to hold it to the ground. It has to either be stable stationary by itself or with tape

    You dont need to explain simple steps. Just do it. We all know how to put tape on something. Just show yourself doing it. Try not to be so wordy. Good video, though.
