Halloween Inventors: Catapults, Gliders & Bats

Build it, launch it, measure it—and then see if you can make it better. Learners create paper gliders and a simple low-force launcher, test distance and accuracy with soft materials, and investigate how small design changes affect results. The teacher guides safe experiments and encourages fair comparisons, so learners practise the full design-build-test cycle rather than simply making a craft.
