Pumpkin Chucking

October 30 – 31, 1 & 3 pm

See NYSCI's 20-foot-tall outdoor catapult in action! Learn about the history and science of catapults, and then watch it hurl pumpkins across the field. The demonstration will show how adjustments on the catapult affect the distance traveled and/or height of the projectile.

October is Catapult Month at NYSCI!
