Using Marshmallows For....not Eating?? for What Then? Well Lets See

In this instructable, I am making a marshmallow launcher. I will also explain how to measure how far each size of marshmallow will go. This is for if you would like to test what size of marshmallow will launch the farthest.

Supplies

Hot glue gun with hot glue sticks, popsicle sticks, small board, Kitchen clip, sharpie, scissors, and three sizes of marshmallows, Large, medium, And small.

Step 1: Make the Launcher

First hot glue two popsicle sticks together to make it thick. Then find a small cup and cut out the bottom. Hot glue the bottom of the cup to one end of the popsicle sticks.

Step 2: Make the Launcher

Now hot glue the side without the cup to the top of a clip. Then hot glue the bottom of the clip to a small piece of wood for a base.

Step 3: Launch

Now launch three of each size of marshmallow. Have someone stand about where you think it will go. Have them put their hand exactly where the marshmallow lands when you launch it. This is so that you can have an accurate measurement because the marshmallows will roll or bounce.

Step 4: Measure

As your partners hand is still on the ground, use a tape measure to see how far the marshmallow went from the launcher to the spot where your partner's hand is. Do this three times with each of the three sizes of marshmallows.

Step 5: Data

When you have done this three times make a graph to table to see which size had the largest majority of going the farthest.
