A Guide To Make a Model of a Greek Catapult
Instructions
- 1 Place two 2 x 2 x 6-inch Styrofoam catapult base bars onto a work surface. Adjust the bars so they're parallel with one another and the six-inch edges are facing you.
2 Measure one inch toward center from the left edge of each bar. Carve a 1/4 x 1/2 inch hole the center of one each bar at this point. Insert a 1/2 x 1/2 x 3-inch Styrofoam cylinder rod into each hole to connect the bars. The bars and rod should now form a letter "U" shape.
3 Bond three 2 x 2 x 3-inch Styrofoam catapult frame pieces together with permanent epoxy to form a "U" shape. Bond the short ends of the 2 x 2 x 3-inch "U" to the top left side of the catapult bars with permanent epoxy.
4 Measure one inch toward center from the right edge of the near catapult bar. Carve a 1/2-inch-wide hole through the long sides of the near catapult bar at this point with a craft knife. Carve a 1/4 x 1/2 inch hole into the inner long side of the far catapult bar. Insert a 1/2 x 1/2 x 5-inch Styrofoam cylinder rod through the hole in the near catapult bar and into the hole in the far side car. The 1/2 x 1/2 x 5-inch rod acts as a winch for the catapult.
5 Bond the short end of a plastic spoon to the center of the right side 3-inch cylinder foam rod with permanent epoxy. The body of the catapult is now complete.
6 Boil five cups of water and one cup of flour in a pot for three minutes to create a paper mache mix. Allow five minutes for the mix to cool and then pour it into a bowl.
7 Soak a 1 x 5-inch newspaper strip in the mix. Press the strip into the body of the catapult. Continue until the entire catapult is covered in one layer of newspaper.
8 Soak a 1 x 5 inch paper towel strip into the mix. Press the strip into the body of the catapult. Continue until the entire catapult is covered in one layer of paper towel. Allow three hours for the craft to dry.
9 Coat the catapult with brown acrylic paint to emulate the wood used by Greek military personnel to build real catapults. Allow two hours for the craft to dry.
10 Wrap an eight-inch string one time around the neck of the spoon beneath the wide head. Bond the short ends of the string to the five-inch winch rod. Twist the winch rod until the string is wound and the spoon is laying flat. Explain to observers that after the catapult was wound tight, a heavy object was placed onto the "spoon-like" head. The winch was released and sent the spoon flying upward to a 90-degree angle, launching the object into the air.
