Task 6 -Flying ‘Mini’ Pumpkins

Halloween is coming up, learn how to create your own flying ‘mini’ pumpkin catapult! Why not have flying pumpkin races!?!

Little Academy – Task 6:
Flying ‘Mini’ Pumpkins
Task 6 - Flying Pumpkins

Halloween is coming up, learn how to create your own flying ‘mini’ pumpkin catapult! Why not have flying pumpkin races!?!

A fun way to integrate Halloween with the restrictions in place this year, here is a force & motion task for our little recruits! In Task 6 from the Little Academy, our little engineers can find out more about the relationship between force, speed, and distance.  Discover & understand what catapults are used for by flying ‘pumpkins’ through the air.

Children are the engineers of tomorrow. They love to design and build with almost anything they can get their hands on.  We would love to see your projects in action!

Of course, you don’t have to have pumpkins to shoot through the air. You could use other objects just as well!
