homemade+catapults

One way you can make a homemade catapult is if you get a spoon and put a smaller object in the part of the spoon that you you eat with. Then you can lean it over the table and hit your hand against the handle and the object will use the energy you generated to fly through the air.

Variables include: Size of spoon, Height of edge the spoon is on, the weight of the object, how hard you hit the spoon - Jack Molitor

Another way is with a mouse trap. Although it is dangerous, it a very good spring and if you put a cup on top it will have a great holder for any kind of ammo. (cotton ball, marshmallow, anything) There are many ways to customize an catapult. For instructions to make one click on this link. [|Directions]
