Catapults are ancient weapons created to throw projectiles further than a person could by themselves. These weapons work like levers with the base acting as the fulcrum for the arm to pivot off of. You can make a small version of a catapult using many common household items. This is a fun science and engineering project for kids of all ages to understand simple machines. | Catapults are ancient weapons created to throw projectiles further than a person could by themselves.
