Marshmallow Shooters - Force and Motion!

We couldn't look into force and motion without making Marshmallow shooters - and this is something you've got to try at home as well!

You need: a paper cup, a balloon, sellotape, and plenty of mini marshmallows!

First cut the bottom off a paper cup











Next, cut the end off the balloon














Tie a knot in the balloon and stretch it over the bottom of the cup. Secure the balloon to the cup with some sellotape.
















Now have some fun! Place a marshmallow in your shooter, hold the top of the cup with a couple of fingers, aim, pull back on the balloon and fire!





Measure how far you can go and let us know in the comments below.
