Marshmallow catapults
This resource encourages pupils to develop their practical skills using a saw and a glue gun to construct a miniature catapult capable of firing a marshmallow.

It could also be integrated with history and drama.
All the resources required to run this activity are provided, including an activity guide, worksheets, catapult templates and a presentation with ideas to maximise pupil engagement.
