Mad Science: Launchers

Need an idea for hands-on science?  How about launchers?  Let’s start with this Peep Launcher.  If you have PVC pipe on hand, try Bottle Blast Off!  I bet at this point in quarantine you aren’t discarding any recycled materials.  I like Root-Copters.  For this activity, you will need paper clips and a printed template.  Make catapults with rubber bands and craft sticks.  Save your paper towel or toilet rolls to make this type of launcher or make a cup launcher.  Yeah, toilet paper rolls gross me out, too.  As long as we are making toys, let’s build a rubber band copter.
