How to Make a Mini Catapult Out of Old Markers
I made this catapult for for a science experiment. I did not have enough wooden sticks so I used markers and elastic bands.
Supplies
Materials:
- Markers
- Elastic bands
- Paper
- Prestik

Making the Base
- Start by making a square with your markers
- Put them together with elastic bands
Starting to Make It Look Real
- Take two markers and put them on your square frame facing up at an angle
- Take a marker and put it at the top (of the two markers)
- Take two markers and put them on the other side of your square frame facing up at an angle
- Attach them to the marker at the top
Finishing Your Catapult
- Put a marker in the middle of one of your two diagonal markers and attach it to the base
- Then take a rubber band and put it to one pill a round the one marker and to the other side of the pole (look at the picture to see what I mean)
- Take another marker and attach it to the marker in the middle (of the two diagonal markers).
- Then cut out of small piece of paper and fold it to make a little bole and stick it to the top of the marker
- Then you are finished your catapult
