STEAM Club Gr. 3 - 5: Basket Blastoff In-Person
Basket Blastoff: Land a basket with a Marshmallow Catapult
This is a fun, hands-on STEAM activity where participants build catapults from simple materials like craft sticks and spoons to launch marshmallows, explore physics concepts like potential/kinetic energy, force, and trajectory, with competitive elements like target practice or distance contests. It involves using simple machines (levers) to store energy by pulling back a launching arm, then releasing it to propel a marshmallow towards a target, promoting engineering design and problem-solving skills.
