About This Activity
Calling all young engineers! Build a classic medieval trebuchet while exploring projectile motion, leverage, and force. Work in teams to design, test, and compete to see whose trebuchet can destroy a “castle” with the perfect mix of power, accuracy, and efficiency. Learn real physics concepts in a fun, hands-on, project-based environment. Aligned with Diocese of Dallas standard PS.4B: “Plan an investigation to show how the change in an object’s motion depends on the forces and mass involved.”
