Thames & Kosmos Catapult Engineering STEM Maker Kit, Build 6 Models of Unique Medieval Machines, Explore Mechanical Physics, Includes Safe Foam Balls & Soft-Tipped Projectiles, Suitable for Ages 8+

Investigate physics using technology from medieval times! Build six sleek, functional models of catapults, trebuchets, and launchers. Use these classic siege weapons to conduct simple experiments that demonstrate important physics and engineering topics like force, energy, motion, and trajectory. The included lightweight foam balls and soft darts are safe and effective projectiles to fling at your cardboard “castle” and other targets! The 32-page, full-color manual has illustrated step-by-step instructions for building the models and conducting the experiments.

• Build six sleek, functional toy models of catapults, trebuchets, and launchers.
• Models include classic seige devices from medieval times: crossbow, reverse-draw crossbow, onager, catapult, trebuchet, and ballista.
• The 32-page, full-color illustrated manual includes detailed assembly instructions as well as experiments that demonstrate physics and engineering topics like force, energy, motion, and trajectory.
• Specially designed and tested for safety, the kit includes soft foam balls and foam-tipped projectiles; building components are designed to allow only the included projectiles to be inserted.
• Bonus activities! Also includes cardboard target blocks to test your aim, and the box itself transforms into a castle kids can color and decorate to set the scene for their medieval physics adventures!
