Thames & Kosmos Catapults & Crossbows

Step back in time and discover the fascinating world of siege weapons with the Thames and Kosmos Catapults and Crossbows kit. Unleash the power of physics by building ten sleek and updated models of medieval catapults and crossbows. These historical weapons not only offer a glimpse into the past but also provide hands-on lessons in force, energy, motion, and projectiles. Construct and experiment with five different types of crossbows, each with its own unique design and firing mechanism. Load the safe foam-tipped bolt, stretch the rubber band, and watch as energy is stored before launching the bolt towards its target. Additionally, explore the world of catapults, which use mechanical rubber bands and counterweights to fling projectiles into the air, demonstrating the principles of projectile motion. The comprehensive 32-page manual accompanies this kit, providing illustrated step-by-step instructions for each model. Ignite your creativity and immerse yourself in the captivating world of medieval physics with this engaging and educational kit.
