In my project, I will be building a basic catapult with popsicle sticks and

rubber bands. In this project, I like to understand more on how catapults work and
how different designs change the accuracy or ringing of the catapult.
The siege weapons used during the Middle Ages included different types of
Catapults. These massive Catapults were an invaluable Medieval siege attack
weapons. Any machine that hurls an object can be considered a catapult, but the
term is generally understood to mean the medieval weapon. The designs of many
Catapults worked by a central lever mounted in counterpoise, like a see-saw
movement.
I choose my design because it seemed like an easy and efficient catapult it had
a lot of rang even though its small build. I wish I could have used better rubber
bands it would have helped the catapult in many ways. I believe this catapult will
work because the way the popsicle stick gets bent over the thick stacked up
popsicle sticks, and this creates tension and I think the thicker you make the
catapult the more power it will have at the cost of it breaking.
