What is a catapult?
A catapult is a type of machine used as a weapon to throw rocks or other things such as hot tar, that would cause damage to something else. They shot rocks to break castle walls, or pitch or hot tar to set the target on fire. Catapults use weights and levers to send the rocks or other things into the air.

When I read about my structure I learnt that the catapult was invented by the Greeks. I also learnt a lot about how a catapult works.
Hi Arman,
ReplyDeleteGreat researching, you can see how the spoon catapult that you made is very similar to how the old rock launching catapults were made!
I hope you had fun building yours.
