The Cow Jumps Over the Moon Catapult
Discover how force affects the motion of a projectile and how changing the launch angle affects the distance travelled with this easy catapult investigation based on the Cow Jumped Over the Moon nursery rhyme.
Watch the video to learn how to make your very own craft stick catapult.
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
Try drawing a cow on the ball you're going to catapult!
