HLWW ISD 2687 Community Education

What makes rockets fly straight? What makes rockets fly far? Why use water and/air to make the rocket fly? Participants will be challenged to design and build rockets from two-liter plastic soda bottles and other materials that travel as far and straight as possible or stay aloft as long as possible.

The MouseTrap Catapult is a fun and simple machine that uses a mousetrap to launch small objects like a toy or ball! It's like a mini catapult you can build with just a mousetrap, some other items. The mouse trap's spring helps the catapult launch things really fast when you set it off, just like a slingshot! This class shows you how to build and play with your very own catapult using the same idea behind a mousetrap. You can change how far or high the objects go by adjusting the mousetrap and how you set it up.
