The Eisco Garage Physics line is aimed at students interested in STEM concepts included physics and engineering. Each kit engages learners to discover new ideas about the physical world through assembly and play.
Catapults were one of the most influential elements of siege warfare over the last 2500 years. This miniature version of our full size, buildable Catapult kit (GP00007) is designed to be easy to build and fun to use, allowing students, teachers or science lovers to literally play with the physics of catapults! The small size makes the catapult excellent for individual building, and makes an awesome desktop or side table piece. Educational topics this kit can be used to demonstrate includes force, acceleration, center-of-mass, vector components, Hooke’s law, parabolic trajectories, and class 2 levers. Kit designed for exploration under the supervision and guidance of a scientifically-minded adult.
Kit includes catapult base, catapult left and right sides (symmetric except for counter-sinks), catapult lever arm, 8 rubber bands, 4 wood screws, 3 dowels, 1 c-shaped screw hook, 1 ping pong ball, cardboard storage box and instructions for assembly and experimental activities. (A medium size Phillips screwdriver is required but not included).
