2. Tie another elastic band around the other end so that the sticks are bound tightly. 3. Tie a rubber band around the remaining 2sticks, close to the one end. 4. Insert the bundle of 8sticks bound together through the 2 stick bundle. Look at the image below to see how to do this. 5. Tie another rubber band in across so that the two bundles are held in place, as shown below. 44 Energy and Change
6. Use a rubber band to secure the plastic spoon on the end. You now have a simple catapult. 7. Use the marshmallows and shoot these by placing one on the spoon, pulling down and then releasing it. 8. Have a competition to see who can shoot marshmallows the furthest and the most accurately – can you hit atarget?! QUESTIONS: 1. How are you able to shoot amarshmallow closer or further away? Pulling the spoon down further will make the marshmallow shoot further. 2. When the marshmallow goes as far as possible, how much did the elastic band stretch compared to when the marshmallow did not go far? The greater the stretch of the elastic band, the further the marshmallow went. 3. Where did the movement energy of the marshmallow come from? Stored energy in stretched elastic. We saw in this activity that if you stretch an elastic band, you can produce movement. The stored energy in the band when it is stretched has the potential to do work. We call the stored energy in the elastic band potential energy because it has the potential to do something for us later. But what does the word potential mean? Chapter 3. Energy and movement 45
