Science Buddies: Bomb's Away! A Ping Pong Catapult

Curated by ACT

With this project you'll send ping pong balls flying through the air with a rubber-band powered catapult. This catapult makes it easy to reproduce the launch angle, and to measure the amount of force applied to the projectile. Armed with this information, find ways to keep the ping pong balls flying accurately on target.
